Max,
  Okay. I read them out of order then. At first I was uncertain from the message
in the gcc44-4.4.4-1000 entry, but coupled with the interest in maintainership
shown in the message in the gcc45-4.5.0-1000 and the impact of your telling
me that I'll get back commit access when I prove myself... you do the math.
It appears that some maintainers are expected to take far more crap than others.
            Jack
