Probably no one. Keep in mind that gcc isn't the only program that uses
these configure names. There is also binutils, gdb, newlib, etc.
However, I don't see support for m68020-elf in all of them, and a quick
uberbaum tree confirms this. So m68020-elf isn't useful anymore and can
be eliminated.
I think the point of having m68020-elf was so that we could have a
target that defaults to m68020 code instead of one that defaults to
m68000 code. In current sources, a better way to do this is via
--with-cpu configure options.

It would be very reasonable to do this.
