Martin marked the bug as forwarded, so btslink marked the bug as being an upstream bug which it appears to be since there's an entry in upstream's BTS. 2) While I can do so, adding administrative prohibitions over something which should be worked out between the GCC maintainers and the btslink maintainers is not something that I'm going to do as an initial step. 3) If the GCC maintainers don't want btslink modifying any non-user tags for their packages, I'm fairly sure that the btslink maintainer can implement that fairly simply; they should just communicate with eachother instead of expecting the bts administrators to mediate for them via administrative prohibitions. > sorry, no.

What problems with the information in the BTS are you talking about?
