I'm not aware of any specific rules. Rather, I think it usually works
is follows: You post a message to gcc@gcc.gnu.org, ``Hi folks, we are
planning to do xyz which will take some time and carries a high risk
of breaking the tree, so we'd like to do development on a CVS branch.
Unless someone objects, I'm going to create a branch called abc in
about a week.''

Using our cvsweb interface (from the CVS web page) this should be
possible.
