I know C++ very well but don't know the front end well enough to work on it, and don't have time to learn it. My main problem is that everything is a void* so I have no idea what I can do with a given tree or what type it is, so I just try something, it compiles (because there's no type checking) so I run it then debug an ICE and continue by trial and error. That's not productive. The bottleneck is not the bureaucracy for me. > Indeed, but my point is that moving to C++ does little (in my opinion) to fix > the infrastructure issues in GCC: dejagnu is awful, the wiki is unmaintained, Why should the wiki be maintained? If people want to add to it they can, why should there be a maintainer?
