Hi,

I’m suggesting we apply the following patch to provide links to macOS package managers, where users can download binaries for GCC on macOS. I have included the two major ones, Homebrew and MacPorts.

I'm not against it.  :-)  I'd let the doc people comment on linking, as they keep up on all the rules.  I think those links are fine.

This looks fine, thanks.  

Just omit the slashes at the ends of the two URLs please.  (If you 
paste them into Firefox, say, you'll notice they end up getting stripped.  
I don't have the RFC handy right now, but for domain names without 
directories the / hasn't been necessary for fifteen or so years.)

Done.

Does the website get rebuilt automatically, or does it need to be triggered?

All automagically :-), and in the case of documents created from 
.texi (such as /onlinedocs or /install) this happens once a day, 
cf. gcc/maintainer-scripts/crontab line 2.
