Generally the way this works is that Hans accepts or rejects most GC
patches. Exceptions are small portability and configury fixes, which
we commit more freely (and send to him for possible inclusion
upstream).
For libffi, configury and other such improvements can be approved by a
number of people. Andreas Tobler maintains the libffi test suite.
Port-specific libffi changes are ordinarily reviewed by the port
maintainer, since usually these changes need a lot of knowledge about
the particular ABI.
This process is probably inadequately documented.
