If we want something like this, a Wiki would be a better choice. GCC certainly found their wiki to be more effective than the projects pages, which are mostly translations of old projects from the source distribution. Also, I find it somewhat ironic that you said "in bugzilla" since we're still living in the dark ages of gnats. I'm torn between setting up a third independent bugzilla instance on sourceware, or going through the pain of renumbering all the active references to PRs in the testsuite.
