The point is: if the _maintainers_ of the frontends do not seem to care
about having links to their site updated, why should we?
(If someone wants to submit a patch for http://gcc.gnu.org/frontends, I
will review/apply that, and I am certainly trying to keep links important
to GCC working, but as you noticed, in this specific case it wasn't even
clear what else to use, nor did we receive any heads-up nor complaints by
users.)
