I do not filter gcc-patches, and more noise would hurt.  If you want to do 
this, why not subscribe to gcc-bugs and filter that (attachments to 
comments don't show up there, though)?

In my mind gcc-patches has a quite specific purpose, which is for posting 
patches thought by the submitter to be ready for committing and for 
acceptance messages by maintainers or why it is not yet acceptable.

To me this is quite different from bugzilla.


Ciao,
