So according to that webpage, trunk becomes 6.0 and the first maintenance release of 5.0 becomes 5.1 (with 5.0.1 being the pre-release state of the gcc-5_0-branch prior to the actual 5.1 maintenance release). What is confusing me is all of these references in the mailing list to postponing bug fixes until 5.2 instead of 5.1 (https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-03/msg01129.html for example).
