My understanding is that gdb followed "gcc rules" here: any maintainer
could make a branch provided the branch guidelines were followed.
See
https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/Internals%20Experimental-Branches
I think the reason nobody really made branches is just because CVS made
it hard.
I'm hosting my personal branches on gitorious, though.
That way I can opt out of the policies that I find onerous.
