I met with Gumby earlier this month to discuss how to arrange that we
all work together effectively.  We reaffirmed that each change
installed in EGCS has to have a sponsor, someone who takes
responsibility for getting that change installed in the standard GCC
release.  This means working with the GCC maintainers to clean up the
change, make it fit the general design principles, document it, etc.,
as needed to get the change installed.  The sponsor can be the person
who wrote the change, or someone else willing to accept this
responsibility.

It sounds like now is the time that the sponsors of all the changes in
EGCS which are ready for installation in GCC should start bringing
them forward and working with you to get them into 2.9.

Once these changes are on the table, then it will be possible to think
about which ones to install in the immediate future.
