Several other people have been helping out with this lately, too.

Fortunately, your statement about hardly any of these bugs being fixed
is not correct; quite a few of them have been fixed, some by the person
who introduced the regression and some by others.  Here's a summary,
which is missing recent reports from other people:

  regressions not yet fixed anywhere (besides the new parser) whose GNATS
  entries identify the patch that introduced the regression

I'll run some more regression hunts for regressions in 3.3.  This is now
a background task that takes just a few minutes of work for each PR,
plus a couple of hours of elapsed time, to identify the patch.
