My understanding is that gdb followed "gcc rules" here: any maintainer
could make a branch provided the branch guidelines were followed.

See

I think the reason nobody really made branches is just because CVS made
it hard.

I'm hosting my personal branches on gitorious, though.
That way I can opt out of the policies that I find onerous.
