I suggested that a long time ago on irc, but was brutally shot down
for it. Apparently, most people hate bugzilla :( To be clear, what I
suggested was that every patch should have a PR. There is way too
much duplication of purpose between bugzilla, gcc-bugs, and
gcc-patches.
TBH, I was sort of doing this manually to start for Jakub's patches
that had a PR with "Fixed" at the bottom of them. I didn't ping on
any of those. That was extra work, but it was doable.
Reading gcc-cvs, or ChangeLogs, or other things like that is just way
too much time.
