No, we don't do that. It doesn't really make sense for a project like gcc. There is no management setting goals and priorities, nor assigning work to anybody. For large-ish features like this there should be a bugzilla ticket. If somebody is planning to work on it, that ticket will be ASSIGNED to them. Any plans that exist will probably be noted there.
