I just did a number of changes to gdb/1 (with it set to nobody) and nobody was informed of the changes (except myself and cgf). >> I also don't remember the rationale behind gdb-gnats@ (where to send a >> bug report) vs gdb-prs@ (where the bug reports appear).

It's a shame that there isn't a BCC field..... Still confused. Andrew
