The way I read your answer, you were asking for more than the "risky"
stuff. A simple yes or no would have been sufficient.

I don't understand why you keep repeating this. I'm not stupid, I'm
not exactly new to contributing to gcc (been working on it for more
than 7 years, in fact), and I never asked for special treatment. I
know what I have to do to make a patch acceptable. But, again,
approval of the patch was not what I was asking for.
