How is it helpful to not follow the rules when posting patches
Quite simple:
* I wasn't aware about this fortran specific patch posting policy. I never have sent any gcc patch to any other list but gcc-patches for approval before, so I also had not done so this time.
* How could I know that the responsible maintainers aren't listening to
bugzilla and gcc-patches, but are listening to a fortran specific list,
I even didn't know about until your posting?
If something goes in to the mainline GCC then it should be required
that the maintainers of it don't stay in their cave and read gcc and gcc-patches
at least. This is at least what one can reasonable expect looking
from the outside, since there are no specific gcc-c-patches or gcc-c+ +-patches.
