There are several ways.
Bugmasters have access to an automatic regression tester (by Phil) on
x86-linux which finds the single day on which a regression appeared. Given
there, looking at a ChangeLog is usually enough to spot the offending patch.
Janis reghunt is even more accurate, and it is public (it is in
gcc/contrib).
As I said, bugmasters already find out the offending patch for most
regressions, so the question here is whether we want to auto-assign them or
not. If people thinks this is a SC decision, then I would like to request an
official SC statement on this. Otherwise, we are waiting for a maintainer to
step in and say that he does not like to have regressions auto-assigned to
him and why.
