No!!!!  That gdb-patches database should be deleted.  It's dead.

People already have to track:

- gdb@
- gdb-patches@
- gnats@

and that is to complicated for some.  At least, by having both patches 
and bugs in a single database, we've a one stop-shop.  A better change 
is to dump gdb-patches@

No worse than having me review them.  All that can be done is review 
them at a coding / broad architectural level and assume that the 
contributor, given that they are using the target, have it working. 
Knowing that they run the testsuite also helps.
