Janne Blomqvist already gave you a good summarry.

The g77 documentation is probably the best starting point for a list of 
intrinsics we care about:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.2/g77/Table-of-Intrinsic-Functions.html#Table-of-Intrinsic-Functions
I you want a easy job to get you started, someone needs to write a similar 
section for the gfortran manual :)

It's probably also worth looking through the last couple of moths of list 
archives to find patches implementing other intrinsics.

I'd recommend getting the paperwork done sooner rather than later. Sometimes 
it takes several weeks, depending how busy the FSF clerk is.
