But Pending is not an appropriate status here, as
it means something is preventing the patch from being submitted, or it
isn't clear whether it should be submitted

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the Feedback.
You're right — "Pending" isn't the best fit here. The patch is a partial adaptation/backport of
Thiago Jung Bauermann’s V4 series, which is still under review on gdb-patches and has not
landed in master yet. ( https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2026-March/225502.html )

Thiago has indicated he will prepare a 17.1-specific version once the master series is resolved.

I’ve updated the Upstream-Status line to:

Upstream-Status: Submitted [gdb-patches, Thiago Jung Bauermann v4 series (not yet merged): https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2026-March/225502.html — partial adaptation for the GDB 17.1 header layout]

Would you prefer using Backport [...] here instead, even though there is no master commit yet,
or does Submitted better reflect the current upstream situation?

Thanks,
Sunil Dora
