I'd add at least an entry for "Toolchain" and route it to the toolchain@g.o
address by default.  Most users know to assign a majority of gcc-related or
binutils-related bugs to toolchain anyways.  Not sure if gcc-porting should be
broken out, though.  That is a separate alias that's targeted at working out
issues on newer gcc releases and/or new capabilities.

I could think of others, like one for Gentoo/Alt, for the FreeBSD and other
ports that kinda do their own thing.  Linux alt-archs can get sorted out by
bug-wranglers.
