Yes, sure, you may contribute to GCC anytime! (..., and then later do a GSoC project, too, of course.) For GCC/Rust specifically, please have a look at <https://rust-gcc.github.io/>. In particular, newcomers seem to find it helpful to join Zulip, and introduce themselves there, and get started on a first small task.
