The instructions on contributing to GCC, <http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html>, do however link to lists.html for details of the appropriate lists, and give a lot of other information patch submitters will need to know. (This information about mailing lists used to be duplicated in contribute.html and lists.html, but that way it got out of sync.) I'm sure a patch to bugs.html to say "If you wish to submit a patch for a bug, see the <a href="contribute.html">instructions on contributing to GCC</a>." would be considered. Likewise I suppose we could arrange for the Bugzilla pages for individual bugs to make prominent notices about how to contribute patches - the page for entering new bugs has a big notice "Before reporting a bug, please read the bug writing guidelines, please look at the list of most frequently reported bugs, and please search for the bug." so those for individual bugs could have a notice pointing patch contributors to contribute.html. -- Joseph S.
