Re: MAINTAINERS: update my email address

(Setting maintainer point-of-contact to @gcc.gnu.org)

Please, anyone setting their contact adress to point at
gcc.gnu.org, test that it works to send email from somewhere
else than gcc.gnu.org, from an adress with a domain setting SPF
records.  No MX between gcc.gnu.org and your final destination
must bounce due to SPF records, as mail forwarded from
gcc.gnu.org will be rewritten to seem to originate from
gcc.gnu.org.  That is, if the sender is whoever@example.com and
the sender domain has SPF records (if "dig txt example.com"
would show a line with "v=spf1"), they likely won't include
gcc.gnu.org as a valid server so the email may bounce.

To wit, some people won't be able to reach you unless it works
to send from a SPF-enabled domain (preferably with a default
rule ending in "-all" rather than ?all") to your @gcc.gnu.org.
Or just don't use your @gcc.gnu.org address as a
point-of-contact, it's not a supported setup, AFAICT.

brgds, H-P
PS. and please don't mix up sender and receiver in follow-ups. :)
