I set the bug back to unconfirmed after I noticed that, in my opinion,
there can be more optimization done.
In any case, the SC doesn't get involved in cases like this. And even
if the SC lost its sanity and decided to micromanage Bugzilla as you
ask, it would take a 3/4 vote, and you certainly wouldn't get mine.
I didn't realize that the SC had no control over Bugzilla. Unless there
was something I missed, all what the web site said was:

All I can now say is:
If no one on the GCC team wants to fully investigate my bug, then
there's nothing I can do about the bug except to implement the fix in my
own code.
This appeal started up over misunderstandings between Andrew Pinski, Ian
Lance Taylor, and I. I felt that Ian Lance Taylor agreed with me prior
to submitting the bug to the bug tracker, and so, felt humiliated by
Andrew Pinski's comments. When Ian Lance Taylor stepped in, he made the
misunderstanding obvious to me, and so, I did what I could to see if gcc
was performing optimizations as much as possible.
This appeal is now dead. Let's get on with our projects, regardless if
my bug report will ever be turned into a bug fix.
