This is a copy of the April 20 News/Announcements at http://egcs.cygnus.com/

April 20, 1999
                       Yes, it is not a hoax: The egcs steering committee is
appointed official GNU maintainer for GCC; the egcs team will be responsible for
rolling out future GCC releases.  This will require some changes in policy and
procedures for the project. We will provide more information on those changes as
they are available.
www.gnu.org has the FSF announcement under the "GNU flashes" heading.

So the egcs steering committee is the official maintatiner for GCC.  I assumed
the egcs steering committee was Cygnus (at least Cygnus people) but this is
probably a bad assumption.
