Everybody can be a GCC developer. You don't need special powers, just some free
time and willing to be. For such a small patch, you don't need any copyright
assignment. Just check out svn trunk, set up a bootstrap, test without the
patch, apply the patch, bootstrap and test with the patch and compare the
results. (Check the gccfarming script here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/ManuelL%C3%B3pezIb%C3%A1%C3%B1ez for all the details).

If the patch does not produce any new FAILs in the testsuite, submit to
gcc-patches with a changelog and ask the reviewer to commit it once accepted.

(You don't even need a powerful computer to do all this, just get an account on
the compile farm: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm )
