I have no idea about this part of your mail. > If there's nobody working on that, how should we start?

Generally all new development should be done on the trunk (which has now branched for GCC 6 because 5 is about to be released). New features should be added to the trunk, not a stable release branch, so doing work against a branch would just mean you have to port it to the trunk before it could be included upstream. So you should just work on the trunk in the first place. >That being said, I've seen that there's a copy > of GCC in GitHub [3]; The official Git mirror is documented at https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GitMirror
