    I've already submitted 2 bug reports for gcc. I have no idea if it was
    received or not since you don't acknowledge receipt of a report (Not even
    a 1 liner?) Don't you think that sending a simple acknowledgement (could
    be automated) would at least ensure that reported bugs are correctly

When I work on a bug report, I often send a message saying "Thanks."
But many different people maintain various parts of GCC.  So there is
no one person who decides what to do with a bug report.  For example,
I don't work on C++ bugs or even look at them, so I certainly wouldn't
ack them.  I don't know what the C++ maintainer does about acking.

It would be easy to arrange for something automated to report
receiving a GCC bug.  I'm not sure this would do a lot of good,
because it would not guarantee that the person who works on that
target machine or part of the compiler has received it.

Cygnus is developing a bug-tracking system.  I hope it will be adapted
so that we can use it for overall tracking of GCC bug reports.
(Contact gnu@cygnus.com if you'd like to volunteer to do the work.)
Then we could make it ack automatically and also indicate that a
person has been chosen to look at the report.
