Because cgen feeds binutils, gdb, and sid.  Which one of those has the
port maintainers responsible for cgen?  What happens if a binutils
maintainer changes cgen, and unknowingly breaks sid or gdb?

Better than sid?  Better than gdb?  OTOH we've talked about moving the
port-specific files out of cgen and into their own toplevel directory,
which would remove this issue anyway.

But, let me make the formal request anyway.  gdb and sid cc'd.

Cgen folks (and others)...  would it be acceptable to change the cgen
approval rules to allow people who could otherwise approve
port-specific patches in binutils, gdb, or sid, to be allowed to
approve port-specific changes in cgen as well?
