Newbie maintainer's first commit


Hello,

I've gained write access to the binutils source tree, and I'd like to
use my first opertunity to update the maintainers file. OK to commit?

I have a pile of questions, as I've never done this before, so please
guide me....

- How is the changelogs managed? Are they handled automatically by e.g.
from the cvs ci log messages, or do I have to do a normal edit-then-"cvs
ci" process on the appropriate changelog? (I think I know the answer, but I just wanna make sure.)

- When I am responsible for a specific target; What (specific)
files/directories, if any, can I commit without getting prior approval? And if I change a top-level file, say config.sub, who performs the actual checkin (after approval), me or the responsible authority for this file?

- Up until now, I have been using and testing binutils with "ordinary user" configure settings. I see that a special maintainer mode exists. What is the advantage of using this maintainer mode? How can I enable and compile all targets? (Are there any other configure trick I should be aware of as a maintainer?)


Thanks all,
Svein
