            Bug ID: 89964
           Summary: Remove the "First, you must pick a product on which to
                    enter a bug:" page
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: web
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: redi at gcc dot gnu.org
                CC: LpSolit at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

When clicking the https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi links to create a
new bug you get an interstitial page asking you to select the product, either
classpath or gcc.

This is a waste of time for the vast majority of bug reporters, because
classpath is no longer maintained, and almost nobody reports bugs for it. There
have only been five bug reports since Jan 2018, four from the same reporter,
and one which should have been filed under product=gcc (and was a dup of a bug
in a downstream gcc package anyway).

Could we please make the links for new bugs go to
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=gcc by default?

If necessary there could be a link somewhere else to
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=classpath but I doubt it's
useful.

It would also be good if the Search page had product=gcc selected by default,
since most people probably aren't searching classpath bugs.
