Hi,
It is up to Denis and Joern (or JÃrn, as I expect he spells it) to agree
on maintainer status - I was just trying to provide a little helpful
information.
I haven't seen JÃrn posting to the avr-gcc-list@nongnu.org, where many
avr-gcc users and developers hang out, but I am very happy to see that
Atmel is supporting him in his work on gcc.
mvh.,
David
