We don't have enough data to reliably generate the bug list completely automatically, especially for new releases on older branches. For any given bug, it might have been introduced during developmenent and not exist in any released GCC. It might remain open because it's still broken in 3.4.x but not in 4.0.x, or the reverse might be true. It might be marked as fixed in 4.0, then later backported to 3.4.4, but the target milestone might read "4.0". For 4.0.1, a Bugzilla query for RESOLVED/FIXED/Target=4.0.1 will be close to the right answer, but this would give a bad answer for 4.0.0 (huge numbers of development bugs reflecting breakage in the trunk) or 3.4.4 (problems with consistent tagging of backported fixes).
