I am interested in precise bug reports; vague claims do not help
anyone even if they are true.
You seem to assume that AdaCore will learn of your bugs by chance or
magic and fix them in the next GNAT GPL Edition. Even if that were
true, allowing this to happen makes you more and more dependent on
AdaCore. In contrast, reporting bugs in the Debian bug tracking
system or the GCC Bugzilla raises awareness of the Ada part of GCC,
motivates more people to contribute to it and initiates a positive
feedback loop:
More users -> more bug reports -> more contributors -> more fixes ->
more users.
Waiting patiently for the next GNAT GPL Edition has its virtues but
helping the advancement of the compiler is not one of them.
