    I did inquire with the overseers about what was possible 
approximately two months ago and they suggested it would be best under 
binutils.

    A few things we are thinking would help gprofng:
        - a gprofng FAQ where questions could be answered and recorded 
for users or developers
        - pointers to useful gprofng presentations that were recorded 
by conferences
        - helpful info to support developers interested in porting 
gprofng to new platforms

    These would likely be asynchronously and incrementally changing as 
there are new questions asked or new presentations

    Do other binutils projects provide this sort of info somewhere?

    If this might be too much we could ask for a savannah.org project 
page, put this sort of info there,
    and link to it from sourceware.org?
