[OT] Getting in touch with the GCC team.

[simendsjo via D.gnu]

Hi,
This is way off topic, but I'm not sure where else to go. I want 
to report a bug to g++, but this has shown to be extremely hard.. 
I hope that at least here I can get a reply. And if it's really 
this hard to add a bugreport, maybe someone could be nice and 
report it for me.

This is a cross-post from gcc.reddit.com:

Many open-source software have easily accessible bug databases
- an important aspect of developing high quality products.

So why is it nearly impossible to report a GCC bug?

I tried to register at https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla, but the
response was: "User account creation has been restricted. Contact
your administrator or the maintainer (overseers at gcc.gnu.org) for
information about creating an account."

So lets send a mail to overseers at gcc.gnu.org explaining the issue.
The reply: "I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to
the following addresses.  This is a permanent error; I've given
up. Sorry it didn't work out."

Well, at least they have a mailing list. I registered to the
gcc-help mailing list and tried submitting the bug report there.
And I finally got a reply today! Yay!
"Hi. This is the qmail-send program at sourceware.org.  I'm afraid
I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work
out."

Is this for real? An open-source project of this size, and it's
hard-as-hell to get in touch with any developers?

So I ask you: How can I report a bug to the gcc team?

Thanks.

PS: Yes, the correct subreddit would probably have been r/gcc, but
seeing 514 subscribers and 2 online, I don't expect to get
a response there.
