Hello,
since the GCC project seem not to be reachable in the Fediverse (only Twitter
linked on website), i contact you here about this issue.

The Free Software Foundation and the GNU project promote and create Free
Software that respects users freedom. The GCC Development Mission Statement is
"Supporting the goals of the GNU project."
So i was surprised to see that you recommend the e-mail providers "Gmail,
Yahoo, Hotmail, or similar" that are known not to respect the users privacy, on
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/createaccount.cgi.
I suggest removing the examples since most people coming to the bug tracker
should know what an e-mail provider is and instead recommend to use an e-mail
alias to protect from spam on the main address.
You should also investigate how this recommendation got there and prevent such
situations from happening again, as it hurts the reputation of GCC, GNU and the
FSF! It did it for me.
It looks it was added in 2011:

Please inform me when you found a solution. (i'm not subscribed to the mailing
list)
kind regards
davidak
PS: Thanks for your work on GCC and other Free Software!
