We keep a change log, and I approve changes except to certain modules
for which other people approve the changes.  Most changes are read by
someone other than the author before installation.

There used to be a test suite made from bug reports sent to bug-gcc.
Its maintainer had to stop last year, but I think others have now
picked it up.

But mainly, reliability is due to the users who report bugs.  Everyone
has a job to do in building the GNU system.  Reporting bugs is the
users' job.  The chapter on bugs in the GCC manual explains how to do
the job well; every user should read it.
