Internal review is of course fine and appreciated, but I still think
it better to do at least some of it in the open.  With a bit of visible
involvement, it'll be natural for one (or more) of you guys to
end up being gdb/SPARC maintainer.  (As you know, maintainership
status is individual, not through affiliation.)

Thanks,
