I have decided to accept employment at ARC International, so effective 11th December 2006, I will step down as an active SH maitainer. I might still do some GCC patch reviews if time allows, but I expect to submit only patches to the SH port - if any - as part of multi-platform patches with the intention to improve ARC support.
Depending on the progress of the Copyright Assignment paperwork till the 11th December, I will adjust my MAINTAINERS files entrys to Write After Approval or waiting for paperwork. I hope my new position will allow me to make a more constructive contribution to GCC than I did in the last year. In my remaining time at ST, I will try to tie up some loose ends in the SH port and the infrastructure it relies on, or where these ends are too frayed to be tied up in the remaining time with the available resources, at least point out where they are, and any ideas I have how to fix them.
