There seems to be other GNATS database corruption.  Looking at some of my
PRs to update their status and change them from "open" to "analyzed" I
found that c/761 was corrupted.  There are various NUL bytes in
/sourceware/libre/gnats/gcc-db/c/761 that weren't in the PR as I submitted
it <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-prs/2000-q4/msg00254.html>.

Is the gcc.gnu.org/sources.redhat.com backup schedule documented anywhere?
(I don't see anything on http://sources.redhat.com/sourceware/.)  If not,
could someone who knows it produce summary documentation of what is backed
up on what schedule, how long backups are kept for, who to contact for
data from backups, etc.?  (Perhaps including anything decided on how this
will change on the move to a new colocated machine.)
