Why bother? gccbug is a relic from a time when the WWW wasn't as pervasive 
as it is now. I fail to see its justification these days. Note that I 
don't discourage it's use, whoever knows how to use it may or may not use 
it in the future (I don't care), but moving it out of the manual asks 
those who don't know to use the web forms instead.

I have to ask for feedback often enough that it annoyed me :-)
