Gee, I knew someone would jump out of the dark just to say this. If you
had bothered reading the part you snipped, you'd have noticed that I
*accounted* for people not having the WILL to answer (because you
apparently found the TIME to answer, even if the answer is not the proper
one), but the only way to make sure was the one I took, or else I'd have
had to wait for an indefinite amount of time just to realize that
evidently no one cared to give me an answer. If that sounds like a good
strategy for you, well, it doesn't for me.

I thought that the MANTAINER list served exactly that purpose, doesn't it?

I'd leave the individual GCC developer the right to decide whether that's
a good thing or a bad one, don't you think?
