Wait, wait.

What does ordering mean?  I wasn't aware that that mattered.  I
thought there were global maintainers, and area maintainers, and
that's that.

As long as I can still approve symtab patches, including my own, I
don't object to

    Elena
    JimB

at all.

If my occupying some position has been somehow preventing Elena from
taking initiatives, then taken together with Elena's ability to commit
more hours to public GDB work, that's a clear argument that I
shouldn't occupy that position.  I wouldn't want to.  I have never
intended to prevent Elena, or anyone else, from contributing as much
as they are able.
