Perhaps http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/ is appropriate for your proposals.
Perhaps that page should be subdivided
into bug fixes, optimizations, language extensions, etc.

I'm puzzled by the argument against _ as separator in numbers,
that 1000000000000 can be written 1000 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000.
In addition to operator precedence hazard,
the following typically results in a negative value in x:

   long long x = 1000 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000;

(Were you just having fun? :-)
