I guess - but I'm not the official binutils, just a port maintainer:
This list is the right place.

For adding a new port, we first need a copyright assignment to the
FSF.  Without assignment to the FSF, we cannot accept the port.
Follow the instructions given in
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-10/msg00593.html.

For adding the code, you need to supply a patch.  CVS write access
helps but is optional.

Can Johan send an email confirming this?

IMO or1k or or32 is less familiar - I would prefer openrisc.  But
that's your choice, I don't see a technical reason for changing this.

Join this list (binutils@sources.redhat.com).

Let's first get the copyright issues fixed,
