FYI you should put "Fixes PR libgcj/286" into the ChangeLog entry.
This will cause patch references to be put into the PR.
I don't keep track of the paperwork stuff too well. Have you signed
papers for the FSF? If so, would you like write access to cvs? This
won't change anything vis a vis the approval process, but it will make
it easier to get patches in when the time comes.
