-The GDB steering committee has been appointed by the FSF as the
-official GNU maintainer for GDB.  It is in charge of GDB maintenance,
-but in practice delegates much of the work to various GDB developers
-who work according to procedures that the committee has established.
+These are the maintainers who have been appointed by the FSF and take
+responsibility for GDB, as a package of the GNU project.  Other GDB
+contributors work under the official maintainers' supervision.  They
+have final and overriding authority for all GDB-related decisions,
+including anything described in this file.  As individuals, they may or
+not be generally involved in day-to-day development.
 </p>
 
+The GDB Maintainers also appoint the <a href="release-manager.html">GDB
+Release Manager</a>.
