The issues are:

1) GCC isn’t the nicest to work with.
2) It’s most likely that AdaCore won’t merge your stuff in.
3) starting from Ada95 and not Ada 2012 is a mistake.
4) a lot of people are finding that they would rather:
  a) Start a new compiler, or
  b) Start a new language derived from Ada.

You would better off contributing to 4a.
