While I currently don't have an ARM based hardware that would

Nice initiative.
Let me still point out the obvious, we already do have working
ARM backends from both gdc and ldc.

If you're interested in spending that amount of time into ARM
development, you might find improving bare-metal ARM support for
embedded systems (noeabi) or AARCH64 support of druntime/phobos
equally interesting projects with a bit more impact.
