There are several ways. Bugmasters have access to an automatic regression tester (by Phil) on x86-linux which finds the single day on which a regression appeared. Given there, looking at a ChangeLog is usually enough to spot the offending patch. Janis reghunt is even more accurate, and it is public (it is in gcc/contrib). As I said, bugmasters already find out the offending patch for most regressions, so the question here is whether we want to auto-assign them or not. If people thinks this is a SC decision, then I would like to request an official SC statement on this. Otherwise, we are waiting for a maintainer to step in and say that he does not like to have regressions auto-assigned to him and why. -- Giovanni Bajo
