If they were simply ignored you wouldn't be responding to my e-mail :-) 
    My motivation is to ensure that your patch doesn't simply fall 
through the cracks :-/

This raises an important point.  While recommending web entry for bug 
reports, GDB does still need to ensure that people unable to access the 
web interface can still submit bug reports via e-mail.  PRMS/GNAT has a 
send-pr script intended for just this purpose. GDB should be including 
it in its distro.  (Anyone know how to do this?)

Separate to this, there is the problem of the file gdb/README only 
refering to bug-gdb@gnu.org (thanks to the bod from SGI for allerting me 
to this one).  I now understand why people continue to use that address 
(and I keep replying with a suggestion of entering it into the bug 
database).  The README file needs to be updated so that it refers to the 
web interface and send-pr script before the bug-gdb@gnu.org e-mail address.
