Adding new machines to GCC

Hello magnificent people of GNU!

Here in University of Genoa we designed a new "virtual" (= it does not
exist on sylicon, there is just a simulator) machine useful to study
instruction flows in C/C++ programs. (Of course it's just a research subject,
maybe one day our work might produce a real machine).
Other details have nothing to do with this newsgroup, so I just omit 
them - if someone is interested, simply e-mail to me.

We have ported gcc, gas, binutils and glibc to build a cross-development
system under Un*x, and we'd like to release our work to the Public Domain
as part of the whole GCC system.

We have the following questions to put to you:

  1) Which person have we to submit our sources to?
  2) What stuff should we send? (i.e.: the whole sources, just patches,
     what kind of pathes, patches relative to the very last version of
     gcc or an older one is good the same, etc...)
  3) Can we send you one piece at a time (i.e. first gcc, then gas and
     binutils and at last glibc) or we have to do everything in one step?
  4) What kind of advice regarding copyright should we put into our sources?
  5) Can we add to the files a small description of our work to allow
     interested people to contact us?
  6) ... any other reasonable question ...

Since the architecture of this machine is very simple (yeah, it's just 
another RISC!), we think that our stuff is also a very good starting point
for people who want to make a new port.

Please reply by e-mail.

Thanks in advance.
