You two files you put there are more GDB scripts, not configuration files.
So it is probably OK for them but I just would not call this feature
system-gdbinit, I find it more contrib-scripts.
system-gdbinit is /etc/gdbinit (Debian has some similar file there) which
seems unrelated to this mail thread feature to me.
