OK, let's do that.  Thanks.

I actually think it is very unwise for people to send e-mail using
addresses @gcc.gnu.org.  gcc.gnu.org hosts software development
projects, and is absolutely not intended to serve as an e-mail
forwarding address.  However, I suppose we shouldn't break people doing
that without any notice.
