I am not sure what you expect from me. As I said many times, I have not a global understanding of GCC (the "global reviewers" have a much better global understanding than I do). So I cannot propose or initiate a list of modules. Or do you want me to just propose a documentation patch with a canvas or frame for other poeple to fill? I would be happy to help, but please understand that my understanding of GCC is restricted to gengtype, ggc, and some parts of the middle-end. I know nothing about the vast rest of the GCC compiler.
