There's testsuite-management/validate_failures.py which is useful
here.  Whether it's useful to the FSF or Redhat trees, I don't know.

I can't put in the time to do all the administrivia to make this
happen (and keep it working, e.g., impose something like making sure
people follow the same rules as libiberty so the trees stay in sync),
so I don't want to send people down this path unless there's
sufficient support, and someone else to do the work.
