That is very good to hear.

You need three things:

   * A copyright assignment in place with the FSF for contributions to 
the binutils project.

   * A demonstrated ability to create patches for the binutils which 
follow all the guidelines.  (Ie they work, they have been tested, they 
are documented and the follow the GNU Coding Standard).

   * Write permission on the binutils CVS server so that you can commit 
Score patches.

Oh and:

   * Some time available to monitor the binutils lists for Score patches 
as well as performing any necessary maintainance or improvements to the 
Score port.


The second point is important as you need to know both how to create 
your own patches and how to review patches from others.  Basically you 
need to establish a reputation on the binutils mailing list for 
submitting good patches before you can start reviewing patches from others.

Cheers
   Nick
