I think it would facilitate this if the mailing list for email
submission of bug reports were NOT the same as the mailing list that
gets all the bugzilla traffic. I don't know about anyone else, but I
find gcc-bugs basically unreadable these days -- which is fine so long
as I can assume that it's all in bugzilla if I need it. But if
gcc-bugs is a place to send bug reports without putting them in
bugzilla, then the bugzilla traffic needs to go somewhere else, or the
un-tracked bug reports will get lost in the flood.
