    [ANNOUNCEMENT] [AArch64/Arm] Maintainership updates
    
    After several years of dedicated service, Alan Hayward has decided to step down
    from his role as maintainer. Alan has been instrumental in keeping the Arm
    ports robust and modern. Most notably, he championed the complex task of
    implementing support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE), which required
    significant changes to how GDB handles variable register sizes, something that
    is used for SME to this day. Beyond SVE, he also enabled Pointer Authentication
    support for AArch64. And his work on XML target descriptions and general
    infrastructure refactoring have left the codebase in a much stronger position.
    
    We thank Alan for his leadership and his many contributions to the project over
    the years.
    
    At the same time, I am pleased to announce that Thiago Bauermann has agreed to
    step up as a new co-maintainer for AArch64 and Arm. Thiago is already a familiar
    face in the community, having contributed extensively to GDB on PowerPC and,
    more recently, AArch64. His recent work on MOPS, GCS and SME features have been
    vital for keeping GDB aligned with the latest developments on AArch64.
    
    Thiago has also contributed significant time reviewing patches from others,
    something that is highly appreciated in the community.
    
    Please join me in thanking Alan for his hard work and welcoming Thiago to
    his new role. I have updated the gdb/MAINTAINERS file accordingly.
