The GCC side of sourceware uses a domain list to further filter
the .*-accepted ones.  The sourceware side just blocks them all at
the regex level.

The file name I posted is for the template input: just modify it and
bob is your uncle.  OTOH, only the sourceware bugzilla points people
to overseers@, so it's unambiguous.

I don't know.  The people with editusers should be about the same
people as those with editbugs, i.e., bugzilla administrators.  The
higher, the fewer.  The few, the proud.
