I'm not qualified to review them, though if they add any Texinfo docs
(e.g., to the list of systems in doc/install.texi) I may be able to
comment on those if there's anything wrong with them.
When you've posted a mainline patch, if it doesn't get reviewed in
reasonable time then add a note about it to the PR as well as sending
repeated reminders to gcc-patches - so that when PR review for 3.1 is done
it is clear that the problem is lack of patch review, not lack of the work
itself having been done.

If new OS support is added in 3.0.3 but doesn't get into 3.1, that would
be a regression between 3.0.3 and 3.1.
