gcc.texi, where it documents GNATS categories.  (Though that duplicate 
documentation ought to go away in favour of copies of bugs.html and 
gnats.html in release tarballs.)

gccbug.  I can do that, but adding to the list of categories there is a 
trivial change.

bugs.html, to indicate when bootstrap bugs should go to the list and when 
to GNATS.

gnats.html, to document the new category.

Could you also add target-* categories for the main target architectures?  
E.g. target-alpha, target-hppa, target-i386, target-mips, target-powerpc,
target-sparc, target-arm (to take those mentioned in the release
criteria).  (Re-categorising existing non-closed bugs in "target"  
shouldn't require any actual understanding of the architectures or
checking whether the reports are valid.  It could also provide an
indication of any other targets with enough PRs to be worth their own
category.)
