I think it's structured.  Every release from 2.95 on can be found in
    ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-RELEASE
Every release other than 3.3.3, that is.

That is reasonable.  ftp.gnu.org holds only official GNU releases--for
all GNU programs, not just gcc.  gcc.gnu.org holds many other things.
It is reasonable for releases on gcc.gnu.org to be in a subdirectory.
