That's a VERY WILD and of course RUDE SPECULATION:
0. I'm old school, I don't use git-something.
1. I explicitly invite everybody who reads my web pages or uses code I
   publish there to send bug reports, comments, feedback, flames, ...
   per mail!
Before you ask: I receive quite some mail from complete strangers, even
bug reports.

I consider the statement on <https://gcc.gnu.org/lists.html>

| gcc is a high volume list for general development discussions about GCC.
| Anything relevant to the development or testing of GCC and not covered
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| by other mailing lists is suitable for discussion here.

as such an invitation too.
