From my point of view, there are probably none. It's more of an
administrative problem: I just tried filing a new report using the Web
interface, and the system came back with a message

  Error
  Your problem report has not been sent.
  Fix the following problems, then submit the problem report again:
  Submitter-Id is 'unknown'

So it is unusable for me at the moment, I guess.

Also, I don't know how to use the email interface. I tried sending a
message to gcc-gnats@sourceware.cygnus.com (which I guessed out of the
blue), but nothing happened so far.

Finally, I thought there should be a gccbugs script, but there is
none. So I concluded that it was not ready to use, yet.

Another issue is the GNATS installation at

http://www-gnats.gnu.org:8080/cgi-bin/wwwgnats.pl

which has a gcc-queue category - I don't think GCC needs two bug
tracking systems.
