Form experience and the cases I know of, huge efforts are made to
identify freely accessible data that could be the base of patch
reviews or testcases or benchmarcks. After that, the rest of the
review process is made public on GCC list.
But that "huge effort" is exactly the point. The amount of time that
can be justified to put into that effort is a strong function of the
number of people that would benefit from that effort. And that relates
to the fraction of developers of that part of the compiler who are not
from the organization that developed that patch. The larger that fraction,
the more work one can justify on making testcases accessible. And that
fraction is very different for the Ada front end than the rest of GCC.
