There has been some effort over the last year to clean up GCC's bug

One problem is that many bug reports have to be revisited several
times
(which is just a waste of resources), because of two problems:
I suggest working out what changes to the GCC Bugzilla configuration
would
be helpful in this regard, so that they can be made before the
transition,
especially if they might affect the conversion program (converting the
described notations used in GNATS into an appropriate form for
Bugzilla).
I believe (but <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> presently gives an error
message) that "open" is converted to UNCONFIRMED and "analyzed" to NEW
or
ASSIGNED. Usefully different types of confirmed bugs could get
different
states in Bugzilla if that is useful.
Date on which a bug was last verified could be a new Bugzilla field.
You can already determine when a bug was last modified.
