In case you have not noticed, there was a message to this mailing list a
week ago ( https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2023-February/240756.html )
about a basic implementation of this in a plug-in located at

  https://github.com/royjacobson/externis

This may help you with thinking about the task and writing your
proposal.  Of course, the resulting project would have to be not a
plugin and aim to give users more insight into the compilation process
to be successful.  But it may be a useful starting point.

Apart from that, all David's advice was of course very good (but
meanwhile we got accepted as a mentoring Org).  

Good luck!
