>From my experience with GCC, I can only report that this is definitely
not working. There used to be a mailing list bugs at gcc.gnu.org, and
reports got either answered immediately, or not at all. People who
thought they were responsible put the mails in some folder, and then
never found the time to come back. This is why I set up a bug tracker
for GCC.
