Of course I signed it (in May 2010). 

My mistake was to develop these fixes for 4 year with out contribution and then 
(in 2010) upgrade to the recent Classpath and push all at once (a big amount of 
code as you could see in that branch). The problem that at that time there 
remained only 1 (or 2) patch reviewers at Classpath. Andrew reviewed and 
accepted a couple of patches. The discussion stopped at processing fixes to 
StrictMath (Andrew requested StrictMath test, I wrote it and nothing more). 
Since pushing of these patches to github, I'm fine to have multiple Classpath 
"master" branches at different servers.

I noticed some activity recently (e.g., moving from cvs to git) but again I see 
the narrow place - code reviewing.

May be it's time to change the policy of patch acceptance from "please find a 
person who reviews (among 1 or 2 guys) your code" to "if signed FSF paper, and 
you have patches, post them to ML, commit to some feature development branch 
and, if no objections within 2-3 weeks, merge the branch to master, in case of 
further objections revert the patches".

and was wondering if it's OK to try to push forward some of your bug fixes?yes, 
good luck, ask me if something is unclear. You could start with StrictMath fix.

Regards,
Ivan
