Procedure to submit new port (CR16 processor)

["Pompapathi V Gadad" <Pompapathi dot V dot Gadad at nsc dot com>]

Hello,
I have a new port for CR16 (National Semiconductor's 16-bit processor) 
for submission. While I was searching the mail archives, I found 
following steps are required for submitting the patches to GCC:
1. Submit the patches for reviewing and approval to gcc-patches mailing 
list. After approval, it is eligible for checking into the GCC SVN 
repository.
2. Obtain a method of committing the patches to GCC repository. One of 
them is to acquire write permissions to at least the port specific 
portions of GCC SVN repository. After approval, the port maintainer can 
check in the port specific files.

My GCC assignment/disclaimer process with the FSF is complete. It would 
be greatly appreciated, if someone can provide information about the 
following:
a) Can the write permissions to port specific files can be obtained even 
before submitting the files? How to get GCC SVN write permissions?
b) I would also like to maintain the CRX (National Semiconductor's 
32-bit processor) port. What is the procedure to request transfer in 
maintainership of CRX port? If there is no such thing called "transfer 
of maintainership", then would it be possible to co-maintain the CRX port?

Thanks in advance,
Pompa
