GCC 4.9.0 Status Report (2014-03-13)

[Klaus Rudolph]

I want to ask how I can find the bugs in bugzilla which are listed in
the "Quality Data" Table. It feels that there are more bugs which are
not listed. For example:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57694
Actually the compiler returns "not implemented" while compiling the
given example code but it seems that this bug is not tracked in the
actual quality data.

my question is:
Which is the selection criteria that a bug is related to the release.
What is maybe the missing information in a bug report to add the bug to
that list.
Can I help by give some more example code or any other "simple" things
to support the process a bit?

Regards
 Klaus
