Hi Chris, thanks for your interest and for listening to the podcast.

We have a wiki page about the basics of getting started with GCC contributions:
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GettingStarted
That's not specific to the C++ library though. Most discussions for
libstdc++ take place on the libstdc++@gcc.gnu.org list, so that's the
most useful one to subscribe to if you plan to work on the C++ library
specifically.

We keep a very informal TODO list of libstdc++ work here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/LibstdcxxTodo
(scroll down to the "Unimplemented features" section)

You can see all open libstdc++ bugs with this query:
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&columnlist=product%2Ccomponent%2Cassigned_to%2Cbug_status%2Cresolution%2Cshort_desc%2Cchangeddate%2Cpriority&component=libstdc%2B%2B&known_name=Open%20v3%20bugs&list_id=476795&product=gcc&query_based_on=Open%20v3%20bugs&query_format=advanced

Some of the "Unimplemented features" on the wiki page do have an open
bug to track them (e.g.
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=118030 for the
https://wg21.link/P0401R6 proposal) but not all of them (and the wiki
page probably isn't complete either!)
