>Description:

Between 2001/06/02 18:29:51 UTC (when gnatsweb-2.8.0 was first
imported into GCC CVS, revision 1.30) and 2001/11/12 15:48:07 UTC
(when I fixed the problem, revision 1.42), PR status change messages
generated by gnatsweb did not include gcc-gnats in their recipients.
This meant that replies to those messages did not go to gcc-gnats, and
some PRs may have been wrongly closed for lack of feedback.

For every message to gcc-bugs between those dates that included a PR
number in its Subject line, was not an initial PR submission, and did
not include gcc-gnats in its destination addresses, either the message
or its URL in the web list archives should be sent to the PR to remedy
this.  Also, every such closed PR needs to be considered individually
to determine whether, given the unfiled feedback, it should not have
been closed; in particular, any wrongly closed for lack of feedback
must be re-opened.

>How-To-Repeat:

Look at such a PR and find missing feedback sent by an ordinary user
who didn't know that they needed to add gcc-gnats to the addresses
they sent their mail to.

>Fix:

File the messages and re-open PRs as described above.
