The situation is a little frustrating because it's not made explicit in
the MAINTAINERS file. I once tried to clear this up with the SC through
one of its members, but got no reply.
My suggestion is that the following people should be able to approve
libffi changes:
0. Global maintainers
1. GCC port maintainers, since many times they will be the only ones who
understand the asm code.
2. Tromey, as the maintainer of libgcj, since this is an important part
of it.
3. Me, as the original author.
BTW - I think we should also add MAINTAINERS entries for zlib, boehm-gc
and fastjar.
