If we want something like this, a Wiki would be a better choice.  GCC
certainly found their wiki to be more effective than the projects
pages, which are mostly translations of old projects from the source
distribution.

Also, I find it somewhat ironic that you said "in bugzilla" since we're
still living in the dark ages of gnats.  I'm torn between setting up a
third independent bugzilla instance on sourceware, or going through the
pain of renumbering all the active references to PRs in the testsuite.
Open to suggestions.
