Might a GSOC project examining community health be something that could
produce useful recommendations on improving developer efficiency and
getting new contributors?  The project can also produce a monitoring
system that fits the GCC workflow. A chat tool is helpful (Rust uses
Zulip https://gcc-rust.zulipchat.com), but it seems understanding how
the project develops and keeping track of relevant information are
greater obstacles.

The GCC workflows is quite different from other open source projects
being primarily email based and not using a bug tracker.  Email does
work well, and has been adapted in Sourcehut, but they have had to
introduce a tutorial:
