What's the current maintenance state of the ELF specification?

There are probably quite a few psABI documents that lack active editors,
too.

None of that work would involve rubber-stamping an existing
specification, it would require actual editorial effort.

(Not all is bad: the Itanium C++ ABI specification is actively
maintained, but it does not cover all details of the calling convention,
and not the ABI of the library interfaces in the standard.)

Note that ISO is a bad choice of venue for this because it is so
incredible hostile to free dissemination of information (which includes
sharing with committee members who are supposed to make decisions on
what goes into a standard).  And most working groups are surprisingly
bad at recording-keeping, so that it is impossible to figure out why a
change was made just a few years later.

Thanks,
Florian
