I'm pleased to announce that the egcs team is taking over as the
collective GCC maintainer of GCC. This means that the egcs steering
committee is changing its name to the gcc steering committee and future
gcc releases will be made by the egcs (then gcc) team. This also means
that the open develoment style is also carried over to gcc (a good thing).

The official announcement will be posted on gnu.announce (and here) soon
(maybe in a few days, as one of the gnu servers is currently down).

Taking over will take additional time, as some issues still have to be
resolved (release policy, web pages etc..), but thats secondary to the
event ;)

Thanks to all the egcs (and pgcc) workers, the egcs steering committee
and, last not least, Richard Stallman for making this step into the future
possible!
