Hi, Jonathan,
This is the question I am always thinking about. GCC is a big software somehow,
and that's impossible to treat every part equally when it has issues.

My team nowadays are focusing on improving the quality of mature compilers. We
just developed a tool to test them and then found those bugs. Our method might
not perfect now and it only found some issues in FE, and we are designing a
more effective approach to focus on the ME or BE parts (those parts might more
important for GCC), it still needs some time for us. So I totally agree with
that you said, and maybe later reports will be more useful for you.

This is a really constructive suggestion for me. I will try to do this at some
time.

Anyway, thanks for your kind and helpful response!
