I realized that we never closed this vote. Re-reading the thread
in the archive pretty much everyone was in favor of what's being
referred to as option (3) below with no objections to the
enhancement to add more detail after the section number so the
convention to follow is as follows:
<section-number>.<dot-clause>.stdcxx-<issue-number>.cpp
with the dot-clause being optional if the test doesn't correspond
to a single specific clause.
For the record, the vote thread starts here:

I also like option (3) best, so sounds like the home for
the new regression tests is unanimously in tests/regress/
The remaining question is the file name convention. Do we
go with <section-number>.stdcxx-<issue-number>.cpp or do
we allow things like:
<section-number>.<dot-clause>.stdcxx-<issue-number>.cpp
e.g., 23.vector.cons.stdcxx-123.cpp
FWIW, I see no reason not to allow it since it provides
additional useful detail.

Subject: Re: [VOTE] Re: regression test suite naming convention
If we constrain ourselves to the proposed options, my vote is for Option
2. The reason for this vote is because it allows us to more easily
determine what regression tests need to be run for a particular change.
If we don't constrain ourselves to the proposed options, I wish to put
forward an additional option.
Option 3:
Put all regression tests in tests/regress/, using the following
naming convention:
tests/regress/<section-number>.stdcxx-<issue-number>.cpp
This option would allow us to quickly locate all regression tests, and
identify which section each regression test applies to without
consulting Jira.
I also think this option is better than the one I suggested. I suppose
the file name could include even more specific detail than just the
section number such as the name of the container or the member
function, like vector.cons and so on.

I'm not hearing any yay's or nay's on the proposed convention
so how about a vote to practice our consensus building skills?
Everyone is encouraged to vote, including non-committers.
Option 1:
Put all regression tests in tests/regress/, naming each as
follows:
tests/regress/stdcxx-<issue-number>.cpp
Option 2:
Mix regression tests in with the rest based on the clause
in the standard and name each according to the following
formula:
tests/<section>/<section-number>.stdcxx-<issue-number>.cpp
