The "Reported against:" field in Bugzilla is less useful than it could be;
it frequently seems to hold some random value. For example, someone
reports a bug against 3.3.3, notices that it is also in the trunk, and
puts "3.5.0" in "Reported against:". This makes it harder to do release
notes later, because I don't want release notes to contain mentions of
bugs that never existed in any released GCC (the release notes say what's
fixed as compared to former GCC releases).
So, if you know that a bug exists in a released GCC, please use its
version number in the "Reported against:" field. You can use "Known to
work" and "Known to fail" to contain any info about which development
branches contain or don't contain the bug.
Thanks.
