Re: I need to create New project on GCC, I want to know how to do it.

You don't need to also send email to gcc@gnu.org.

Roughly speaking,
You do up the legal paper work to assign copyright,
You write the code,
then you contribute it (mail to gcc-patches).

http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html has more details.

Nope, we merely require that you can do the steps above.

For the subproject schedule, this is mostly outside the scope of gcc  
development.  If you want, you can write up a schedule for your  
project and put it in a wiki page for your project if you want.

Write the code, contribute it.

Contribute to mainline first.  Optionally, consider backporting code  
to next closest release branch, repeat.

Select project, find work to do in that area, talk with other  
contributors in/near that area so ensure that work isn't duplicated,  
do up the code, send it in.

You can get a feel for what a contribution is by checking out the gcc- 
patches mailing list, it has many real examples.

You can find some ideas for areas to work on at http://gcc.gnu.org/ 
projects/

And welcome.
