Thanks! I intentionally gave it a few days to wait for possible
suggestion before committing. I checked the patch, and then

commit 8cdec15f1db4eae1d748db79d19b99e41bc116b3
Author: Joel Brobecker <brobecker@adacore.com>

    Fix uses of litteral `GDB' in `In Memoriam' appendix.
    
    @value{GDBN} should be used in place of GDB, so this patch fixes it.
    
    gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
    
            * gdb.texinfo (In Memoriam): Replace litteral uses of `GDB' with
            `@value{GDBN}'.
