Hi.
Going through my mail I see I didn't follow through on this.

Just a heads up before I check this in.
[This is to gdb+binutils MAINTAINERS file.]

The MAINTAINERS file says no changelog entries for it,
though I do see some in the toplevel ChangeLog.
My plan is to follow what MAINTAINERS says and not
update ChangeLog.
[If people want a ChangeLog entry then let's first
agree to update the text in MAINTAINERS.]
