The only part that is meaningfully a separate product is web; although
libstdc++ may produce its own releases as well as being part of GCC, as
far as the bug-tracking system is concerned I think everything from the
GCC source is one GCC product.  (And some categories are even less like
products, e.g. optimization, bootstrap.  "target" ought to split up with
separate categories for the main architectures (and maybe OSes) that are
actively maintained and used, but that isn't a conversion issue.)

Reordering the HTML so that each heading comes just before the contents to
which it refers ought to suffice.
