Hello,

 We are delighted you found contributing to GCC interesting.

Please note that Rust-GCC projects are a bit special in the sense that
they are often discussed primarily on Zulip of the gcc-rust team:

https://gcc-rust.zulipchat.com/

So you may want to reach out to them there as well.

I assume you have already read through https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode
The page has guidelines on what we expect to find a proposal.  Basically
you need to figure out what the project would entail and write it down,
with a little bit of detail and milestones.

Feel free to ask about any specifics either here on the mailing list or
on the Zulip linked above.

Good luck!

Martin
