Post #1808953

So recently I have been thinking about conversion projects that are partly completed in gcc. Most of them are at a state where folks who are new to the project could come in and help finish them up. Many of these projects have been at this state for over 10 years too. It is if everyone accepted the idea they are partly completed. And now with the live of llms some folks want to use them to finish it. I already proved that is not needed for some, new folks are willing to do the small changes to learn gcc and make it better. https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2026-April/714691.html is an example of a totally new person helping with this. So far with my weekly newsletter and the weekly easy issue to solve; i have gotten 2 new folks who now have at least a patch each pushed into the repo. Would they have done gcc development without this, I dont know. But what I can say is getting a patch in within a week of posting is new.
