Thanks for your support. GCC has an FSF appointed steering committee <https://gcc.gnu.org/steering.html> which is what we would traditionally call the official GNU maintainers for a GNU package. But given that GCC is so big they delegate responsibility to maintainers for larger subsystems/packages, of which you are one. I have created a special section on <https://wiki.gnu.tools/gnu:social-contract-endorsement> to list GNU community members like yourself who have endorsed the GNU Social Contract.
Further, RMS is a member of the GCC steering committee, and I believe has veto power (possibly only over non-technical decisions). So the likelihood of that /committee/ endorsing the Social Contract is low.
I do not know if other GNU projects have a similar oversight structure. nathan -- Nathan Sidwell
