It depends on what the bugs are. Many bugs in our tracker are intractable because we don't have the platform where it occurs or the user didn't supply enough information to reproduce it. I imagine the GCC bugs are much of the same, just more (because GCC is more complex and wider used than Python -- most GCC users are even more clueless about GCC's implementation than Python users are about Python's implementation). I try to close bugs from clueless users if there's no response to a request for more info, but often something that might be a bug but isn't easily reproduced stays open for many many months. So I'm not sure that it's realistic to keep all bugs on a page. I did my part against bugs without someone to ask for more info by forbidding anonymous bugs, recently. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
