Hi Anil,

> We are very keen to become maintainers for H8/300 target in Binutils. I would be grateful if you could tell me ( or give a link) which describes maintainer responsibilities. We will do our best to fulfill them. 

There is a lot of information about maintainership of GNU projects at 
this site:

http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/

The good news however is that for binutils being a maintainer of a port 
  to a particular target is lot simpler.  So instead take a look at this 
file:

   <binutils-sources>/binutils/MAINTAINERS

and in particular the section on maintainers.

So if you feel that you can work to improve the h8/300 port, review 
changes by other people to h8/300 specific files,  and watch for changes 
to the generic code that adversely affects the h8/300 port then you are 
suitable to be a maintainer fir the h8/300 port.

Cheers
   Nick
