I certainly won't dispute that presentation/navigation can be improved,
but this is volunteer project, and my personal order of preferences for
the web site is (roughly) the following:

 1. availability (Do the site and updates work at all?)
 2. correctness (of information provided)
 3. accessibility and basic usability (Is the site useable for all users,
    including the handicapped and users with non-mainstream systems? Is
    the desired information easy to find and use?)
 4. completeness (of information provided)
 5. design in the more graphical sense

On my personal schedule, reviewing and shepherding patches and trying to
honor suggestions hovers around 2-3 in the list above and also Janis (the
second web pages maintainer) tries to handle patches quickly, so don't
hesitate and contribute! :-)

Note that different logos were suggested about a year ago,
  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-10/msg00273.html
but I never received any response to that mail of mine.

Sheesh, I've been handling the GCC web pages for 5+ years now? I'm getting
old... :-}
