So, can I have a GNATS password to do so?  There are presently about five
open C PRs in the database fixed by my past patches, and another five or
so I've identified as being non-bugs that can be closed or marked as
change-requests.

Hi,

As directed, I am sending this e-mail to this address.
I am offering to clear out some of the C++ related
bug reports in GNATS, with the hope that my efforts
will help the GCC developers release a high quality
GCC 3.0.

What should I do to get set up?
I've already looked at about 100 reports.

We're putting poor Craig through a lot of steps, which isn't the best
way to encourage a willing volunteer.

Jeff, is it OK to change the `gnastwrite' page to point directly to
the account set-up page you referenced?

If so, I would suggest that Gerald make the following change to the
gnatswrite page to explain that you will first need to get approval
from someone on the GCC steering committee.  For now, I'm happy to be
the designated representative.  The instructions should say something
like:

       First send mail to <...> indicating that you would like to
       have GNATS write access.  Please explain why you would like
       to have write access.  If your request is approved, you should
       then visit:

         http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cgi-bin/pdw/ps_form.cgi

Does that sound OK to everyone?

Sure.  Actually, any page we have which is related to setting up accounts
can point to that page.

It's all right. :)

My interest is to help the GCC development team, and help them
focus on fixing bugs that affect me the most, like:
http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view&pr=1709&database=gcc

I've submitted the web form to get GNATS write access, and submitted
my SSH public key.  Did I do the right thing, or do I need to
do something more?

Thanks.

:)

I've submitted my name and SSH key on the web page that
Jeffrey Law directed me to, but have not received any response.
Am I in or out?

I'd like to help out, and have been receiving lots of feedback
from the bugs I've tried to close.  For bugs that I cannot close
and can reproduce, how can I queue those so that a gcc developer
can take a look at them?

Thanks.
