I only have this mail from him:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-01/msg00657.html
This is from 2004-01-11, so may well be outdated already.

Richard didn't seem too happy:

I gave it in my mail. It's PR 13681. Steven already analyzed it, but since
then it's been sitting idle.

But that's exactly the point -- to figure out which state the branch it is in,
it would be nice if those people that find a non-negligible number of our
bugs before something is actually released, could actually test the branch. I
understand that tree-ssa is able to compile and run a significant number of
applications at the moment, but the fact that the application testers inside
gcc are not satisfied at the moment indicates that there is some work still
to be done.
I have a nightly tester that I'd like to run, but that only makes sense if I
can compile my application. I'll make you the following deal: you make my
application compile, and I'll make sure that within a few days I'll get to
check whether and how many miscompilations I have, and file PRs for each of
them. Then we'll have a clearer picture of the state of the branch. I could
imagine that other application testers would do similar things.
This way the total number of bugs to be fixed is the same as if we merged now,
but we'll have less disruption of mainline.

Wolfgang
