There always has been clearing of the road, but as you correctly
point out, the RM should take care of this. But the number of PRs
was so large at one point that it would be unreasonable to ask of
Mark to go through them all. I don't think it is a problem then if
the same people who set the priorities in the first place now take
the responsibility to re-set them so that the RM can get a picture
of how the next GCC compares with previous releases without wading
through enhancement requests and insignificant bugs.
And yes, I believe the bug masters can say if a bug is significant
or not. If they can not, then they shouldn't have permission to be
bug masters.
