Why? There are lots of people who only send a few patches per year and they all know how to contribute them. > and not much good info on that either, the manual just says > `report bugs to the bugtracker'; more or less. Not true. For developers we have other quite extensive documentation in the gcc internals manual and on various web pages that tell you the procedures and expectations when you want to contribute a patch. Those few users who want to help developing gcc can find links to that documentation in the chapter "Contributing to GCC development" in the users manual. It seems you overlooked that chapter. Gr.
