Michael,

As I stated in my cover note, gdb/1560 for instance is a regression 
since GDB _5.0_.  Trying to list regressions is of little value.

We need to make judgement calls here and identify the issues that are 
going to hurt the user (and provide workarounds?).  Giving this file 
meaningful titles (so users don't have to wade through irrelevances such 
as gdb/1512) is a first step.

I don't know who the maintainer is, however doco and releng should be 
"on the same page".
