The process is very similar to when they hit it in DMD:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51664

This is an anecdote, of course, but for perspective: this bug was known 
for ~7 years before I posted the duplicate and it took another 5 years 
from my report until it was fixed.

Note that the first answer I got was "I don't think [this report] is 
valid". I guess it is easier to not blame the compiler if you are not 
sure whether you understand the language definition correctly.
