Some may not have noticed this thread in gdb-patches...
Basicaly, people would like to create a new test subdirectory to contain tests that correspond to specific gdb Gnats database entries.
This paragraph extracted from a message posted by Michael Snyder summarizes the idea:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm all in favor of adding a test when fixing a PR, but since a
one-bug-fix test is kinda different from the one-general-functionality
tests that we have now (eg. break.exp for breakpoints etc.), maybe we
need a new naming convention for these tests (maybe PR13536.exp?).
Maybe they even belong in their own separate directory (eg. gdb.pr)
so as not to clutter up the existing test heirarchy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I like the idea and people that were in this thread discussion also liked it.
There were no objections in gdb-patches but we thought it should be posted here first so it reaches a broader audience.
