You're, however, too late for GSoC 2023 (..., which you'd referenced at the end of your email), but also still too early for GSoC 2024; see <https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline>. Building the compiler and beginning to experiment as well as reaching out to the community is always a good start, so if you're interested in GCC/Rust specifically, please have a look at <https://rust-gcc.github.io/>.
