I'm quite aware.

 From the developer perspective, just about all of the documentation in 
bug_status.html is preempted by the docs in 
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/management.html.

Unfortunately, it's not in a format condusive to linking to, and 
doesn't list the priorities or each and every state.

Should I rewrite bug_status to only just describe non bug-life cycle 
things in a manner consistent with the descriptions in 
bugs/management.html?
Then throw a comment in both the html of bug_status and management 
saying to make sure they stay in sync?

Or should I add an exhaustive list of priorities, severities, and 
states to the bottom of bugs/management, and just have the hyperlinks 
currently going to bug_status point to the right places in each list?

I'm not sure what is "best" here.
