In my view, anyone with write access should feel free to merge changes to
shared files from the binutils-gdb tree at any time, without needing
separate approval.
The only exception would be if there is deliberate divergence. The only
case I know of for deliberate divergence is to allow autotools versions to
be updated separately in the two trees, since even updating one tree is
quite involved (the last time that happened, it was a while between when
Simon did the update in binutils-gdb and when I did the corresponding
update for GCC; between the updates, care was needed about merging changes
to auto*-related files).
