All contributions are welcome. One of the key functions of the SC is actually saying no to RMS. Central FSF or GNU project infrastructure is not used in developing GCC; gcc.gnu.org is entirely independent of central FSF or GNU infrastructure such as savannah. So RMS has no control over policies applied to GCC mailing lists, and any influence he might apply to the moderation of lists hosted on lists.gnu.org does not apply here. (Although GCC releases are uploaded to ftp.gnu.org, which is central GNU infrastructure, they are also available at https://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/releases/ .) He has an ordinary restricted user account on gcc.gnu.org giving the same access to push commits as most committers; he does not have shell or administrative access. -- Joseph S.
