The coordination looks perfect to me: Patrick started (and finished, as
it only took an hour or two) the implementation two weeks and six days
after your post saying you'd start in 3-4 weeks, so presumably you
hadn't started yet and thus we just saved you some time -- I certainly
always appreciate folks helping out, doubly so when it seems urgent (as
this did at the time).
IMO the real coordination miss was that there's already been a much more
comprehensive implementation of these in one of the RISC-V branches for
months now, so it looks like this was all finished before any of us even
started. Probably best to go talk about this on the binutils mailing
list, as that's where most of the relevant folks hang out.
Sorry to have stepped on your toes here, I guess this isn't nearly as
urgent as I thought it was. I'm in no particular rush for this one, so
sounds like it can wait for the toolchain stuff to get sorted out
