We regularly merge changes in our GNAT repository to the FSF GCC repository
(almost every week, as witnessed by the gcc/gcc/ada/ChangeLog file), but also have to obey GCC's release schedule and in particular currently GCC is in stage 3, which means basically only regressions are fixed, so our changes are currently on hold and will resume whenever GCC is back to stage 1. See https://gcc.gnu.org/develop.html#timeline for more details on GCC's release timeline.

You also need to take into account GCC's release constraints, see above.
