Here are the proposals, in the order in which I found them by reading
the discussions with a threaded e-mail reader:
1) Global maintainers are permitted to approve patches to any part of
gdb, even parts which have a specific area maintainer.
Yes.
2) If maintainers disagree on a patch, and can not resolve the
disagreement by discussion, the disagreement may be resolved by a
vote of all global maintainers and relevant area maintainers.
Weak yes. I'm OK with this, not particularly attached to it.
3) Assign more area maintainers to areas for which patches are not
being reviewed fast enough.
It's a volunteer job, we can't throw it at someone.
More area maintainers would be great, but it's not a solution.
4) Track patches using an automated system; permit global maintainers
to approve a patch if the relevant area maintainers have not acted
for N days, for some value of N.
No.
5) Create an ombudsman for gdb, who is responsible for listening to
people's reports of problems, and then resolving them first through
the global maintainers, and then, if that fails, through the
steering committee.
It's OK with me, but it doesn't solve the same problem as (1).
It's more a solution to the meta-problem of how-did-we-get-here.
6) Reconstitute the steering committee to make it more active and to
make it better reflect the gdb community. Include people from the
gcc and binutils projects. Perhaps do not include current gdb
maintainers, to permit more objectivity.
No. I don't mind if this happens, but it won't satisfy me as a solution.
