Hi,
I am the maintainer for the GCC Rust project and feel free to ask questions
and join our zulip server I can help mentor you on some work if you want to
gain experience.
You will need to get proficient with C++ so I think spending time getting
used to writing C++ would be a great thing to do in the meantime as well.
Thanks
--Phil
