I agree with the hidden cost of PR labor for volunteer-run projects. But a summary of the project can be very short and efficient. Copied (shortened) from the README:
> gccrs is a full alternative implementation of the Rust language ontop of GCC with the goal to become fully upstream with the GNU toolchain. Please find the answers to frequently asked questions over on: https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Ques...
Two sentences like these would be more than enough to give a person passing by enough information to know what it's about, if it'd be useful for them, and whether they'd like to keep on reading.
It's true that if this project succeeds, that would be an outcome, but it's probably worth noting that you'd really only have to add support for the GCC backend to do that, and not reimplement the frontend as well (parsing, type checking, lifetime checking, etc.). There's an unrelated project working to do that: https://github.com/antoyo/rustc_codegen_gcc that would likely yield those same benefits for less effort.
