Gosh, this is nearly exactly what I already had on my disk. :-/ Yes,
that's fine except the following:

 +<p>For more info, and features of the mailing list software, please
 +consult <a href="http://sources.redhat.com/lists.html#faqs">the
 +documentation page for sources.redhat.com and gcc.gnu.org mailing
 +lists</a>.
 +</p>

(This duplicates some information we already have, and it "demasks"
gcc.gnu.org as sources.redhat.com, something which we cannot do due
to *VERY* strong concerns by RMS.)

Go ahead and install that as well.

Please don't submit these PRs. Those that can really address such issues
just don't check our GNATS database and they end being automatically
assigned to me. =:-O

In this case, please report the problems to overseers@gcc.gnu.org.
