The path to acceptance of patches is not great from my experience.
I made a minor change to a doc, which then was then requested to improve other more general parts of the unwinder doc. I did them and submitted. It got kind of approved but not enough for merge. I tried to ping some time later but the approval of somebody else was needed and I gave up.
This post gave me the nudge to ping again for who might be the approver required.

- gumby 4y agoI admit it was a lot easier when Cygnus was managing the development. Now it's back (AFAIK) in volunteer-land things revert to the mean. Even at Cygnus to get there I needed to engineer a fork (not just codebase -- we went the other way, but organizationally) which at the time was extremely controversial. Nowadays that model is the default. But gdb has no steering committee.
