I don't think it actually goes to gdb-prs.  The Reply-To: header is
sourceware-bugzilla@sourceware.org while the To: header is
gdb-prs@sourceware.org.  I hit 'reply' in VM which goes to bugzilla.  If I hit
'followup' which tries to go to both addresses, the message gets sent back to
me.  This would explain why there is only one message in gdb-prs.

In any case, my point is that GDB Bugzilla is a bit of a black hole: more
goes in than comes out.  If reports did go to gdb-prs, they would still go
unread as presumably no-one is subscribed to it. gdb and gdb-patches are
the only mailing lists that appear to be widely read.
