Hi, It is up to Denis and Joern (or Jørn, as I expect he spells it) to agree on maintainer status - I was just trying to provide a little helpful information. I haven't seen Jørn posting to the avr-gcc-l...@nongnu.org, where many avr-gcc users and developers hang out, but I am very happy to see that Atmel is supporting him in his work on gcc. mvh., David
