Moreover, our contribute page says "the GCC maintainer that is taking care of your contributions" and there is no documentation to maintainers, so that part at least is wrong: maintainers don't know what to do. Or else, I just didn't receive the maintainer welcome package including the appropriate documentation :)
The FSF defines maintainer a bit differently than the gcc project. In the FSF view, the GCC SC is the maintainer of GCC, and no one else.
Then I suggest changing our contribute page from
contact us (either via the gcc@gcc.gnu.org list or the GCC maintainer that is taking care of your contributions) to obtain the relevant forms
to
contact us (either via the gcc@gcc.gnu.org list or a GCC Steering Commitee member) to obtain the relevant forms
to reflect this. FX -- François-Xavier Coudert http://www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~uccafco/
