Is GFortran stable enough to actually use?

GFortran is able to compile very little of my Fortran90+ code. But, it
seem that it is now supposed to be in 'stable' production mode. Should I
start sending in a huge number of bug reports, or are there already
enough known bugs to stay busy? And, where do I send bug reports.
gfortran.org and the Gfortran Wiki seem to no longer exist.
Meanwhile, G95 works really well, even better than Intel Fortran. It's
too bad that Gnu is unwilling to let G95 be the real compiler and still
let Andy be the controlling author, sort of like Linus and Linux. Right
now, G95 is so much better, it's hard to consider wasting time on
GFortran. But, if the hardcore FSF ideals make it impossible to accept
G95, I am willing to at least contribute good bug reports to GFortran.
Thanks,
