Thank you for you interest.

All are welcome to contribute.  We do have a Mattermost workspace that 
you may join where you can get some guidance from the team if we happen 
to be online.  I monitor this daily.

Take a look at these links:

https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html

Some info on the process.

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=SUSPENDED&bug_status=WAITING&bug_status=REOPENED&cf_known_to_fail_type=allwords&cf_known_to_work_type=allwords&component=fortran&component=libfortran&list_id=414162&order=bug_id%20DESC&product=gcc&query_format=advanced&remtype=asdefault 


That gets a list of the open fortran bugs.

Get familiar with out git repository:

https://gcc.gnu.org/git.html

Feel free to ask more questions.  Take a look at some of the Problem 
reports on the bugzilla and see if anything catches your attention.

Best regards,
