The "[Bug foo/" does allow you to see at a glance which part of the
compiler the bug report relates to (and therefore whether it is likely to
be of interest) better than free-form subjects.  Though GNATS-style
starting with just foo/nnn would make more space available.  Also not
marking new reports with "New: ", but rather starting subjects of
follow-ups with "Re: " (before the bug number).

You've lost gcc-bugzilla altogether from these headers - better that as
I've suggested it should be To: gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org with gcc-bugs not
being mentioned in the headers of the message to gcc-bugs.
