I think this should not be hard given the tables already available when
checking formats. This could be an EasyHack.
About generating a patch, we would first need precise locations within format
strings (PR52952), then implement the fix-it hints (PR62314) and editors like
Emacs could parse them to patch the code. Unfortunately, the time I can
dedicate to GCC has been very much reduced lately and I haven't been able to
find anyone to continue this work.
