How to get GCC SVN write permissions?
The first step is to send the proposed patch to gcc-patches. Get the patch approved, which will normally involve some give-and-take with the maintainers. Then apply for write permission to the SVN repository, and commit the patch. > b) I would also like to maintain the CRX (National Semiconductor's > 32-bit processor) port.

The first step would be to talk to the current maintainer of the CRX port, Paul Woegerer, and make sure that he agrees. Usually the steering committee would like to see some track record of successful patch submission before granting maintainer status. For example, it needs to be clear that you understand the basic formatting, patch submission, and patch approval rules. So you should probably go through the exercise of submitting the CR16 port before becoming maintainer of the CRX port. This is all my personal take on things, not any sort of official statement. Ian
