contributors HOWTO?

[Jose E. Marchesi]

Hi,
    
I read this list since two years ago, but without contribution to the
development.
    
Now that i think i know a bit about gcc internals, i would like to
contribute to the development with some patches.
    
But i find a dificult task to understand the complex
branches/snapshots/tests/etc system. There are a Contributing HOWTO
that introduces the gcc development model to newbies? If not, i
think would be good to have such a guide, so people as me can start
contributing to the gcc development.
    
I know your time is very limited. So i suggest a plan: i could try to
write the HOWTO while learning myself. But i would need to constantly ask to
the list in order to learn. I could put a subject prefix as
[learning-HOWTO] so all of you interested in colaborate could read the
questions and reply to it. Then, while learning, i could compound the
HOWTO. 
    
What do you think?
