According to http://gcc.gnu.org/svnwrite.html , you should send an
email to overseers(at)gcc.gnu.org . It says that you need a sponsor
and "The steering committee or a well-established GCC maintainer
(including reviewers) can approve for write access any person with GNU
copyright assignment papers in place and known to submit good
patches.". I'm not sure if I'm considered to be well-established
enough, so could someone help Jim out here, please?

Or, if nobody pipes up within a few days, just mention my name as your
sponsor and we'll see if the overseers consider me well-established or
not.. ;)
