Steering committee request regarding gcc's bugzilla

I'm not quite sure whether this is a good idea. It seems to me as if the 
people presently working on bugzilla are no binutils experts, so what 
would be the benefit of having the two in the same data base? I've seen 
maybe 10 bugs (out of 13000) that turned out to be binutils bugs instead 
of gcc bugs. Why not set up a different bugzilla elsewhere? At least I'd 
like to see more convincing arguments why the two should reside in the 
same database.
