If you do this, could you also set up the mechanism for a gcc-cvs-patches
mailing list as I requested in other/1634? The reasons for such a list
are both detection of wrong commits (with unintended changes included, or
other than as approved) and exact reproducibility of changes in the event
of repository corruption (which requires all changes to be sent out
exactly, even if very large).
