This is for people who have primary responsibility for ports, front ends, or other specific aspects of the compiler. These folks are allowed to make changes to areas they maintain and related documentation, web pages, and test cases without approval from anyone else, and approve other people's changes in those areas. They must get approval for changes elsewhere in the compiler. -- Steve
