The GCC website uses cvsweb 1.93 which was a nice stable and old release.
FreeBSD-CVSweb is currently at version 3.0 and offers many compelling
features including:
automatic tarball/zipball creation
automatic PR xxxxx linking
automatic filename linking
syntax highlighting
The first one alone seems reason enough to upgrade as it would provide
an alternative for those stuck behind firewalls who are chirping for
"more snapshots! more snapshots!"
FreeBSD-CVSWeb is available from http://www.freebsd.org/projects/cvsweb.html

The place to suggest this is overseers@gcc.gnu.org.
My reaction to automatic tarball/zipball creation is "machine
overload! machine overload!" I think we would definitely want to
disable that feature if we bring in the new cvsweb.

Does it fix bugs 2036 (links to diffs for files in Attic don't work; to
test the example URL given you'll need to change "egcs" to "gcc" since
that symlink was removed) or 11335 (incomplete logs shown, possibly
through parsing rlog output and getting confused when something similar
appears in a log message rather than parsing the ,v files properly)? (I
don't expect anything other than an upgrade to fix these problems; a
previous update did fix bug 638.)

I do not know if it fixes those particular bugs.
I actually started my research because of a bug that appears related to
11335 but specifically related to branches. I just entered a new PR
web/14561 for it.
