I'd file for at least:

"ASSIGNMENT - gcc"
"ASSIGNMENT - BFD"
"ASSIGNMENT - GNU Binutils"
"ASSIGNMENT - DejaGNU"
"ASSIGNMENT - GNU Assembler (gas)"
"ASSIGNMENT - GNU gdb"

This way, you are covered for at least these bits, what ever they are.  
Also, I thought there was a separate gcc documentation assignment they 
were doing...  :-(

The reason is that while you might not do a binutils type patch in the 
next year or two, the day might come when you find a trivial little bug 
fix for something in binutils, or something bigger, and that way, you 
can just submit it and get it in without worrying about paper work, as 
it is a pain.  If you like doing the paper work, well, I'd expect that 
the first one is the only one you need (and maybe the doc assignment).
