I've been lobbying for some time, on IRC, for more people to be able
to fill in the holes in the maintainership patterns. Most of the
existing global maintainers are inactive. There are areas of the code
which are not covered by the other maintainership groupings. Thus
there are areas where patches go unreviewed. I believe, though I have
not been told, that non-algorithmic global maintainer is intended to
address this gap. Making me one of the people with that role is most
likely following the principle that the person who complains gets the
job.
Ian, may be I am wrong but I see a problem that some important for all
GCC community things are discussed only on IRC. Not all people are on
IRC. Moreover some people avoiding the IRC for some reasons.
