This is quite interesting, thanks for setting it up.


I can see already that to be useful for gcc today it will need some
curating.  E.g., http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/54974/ is both 1)
committed; 2) on a branch.  This one
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/54958/ is committed to trunk.  Are
there ways that we can adjust our e-mail messages to make this work
better?
