>>>The GCC Release Managers will decide the details about the timing of the merge and inclusion in GCC 4.5 or later.

Strange because GCC 4.5 is in regression and documentation fixes only.

New frontends, if they aren't disruptive to the middle or back-end(s), are also fine in stage 3. If they're written by a longtime GCC maintainer, so much the better.

Of course this requires -fsplit-stack support, so it *does* touch the middle-end...

It does say the maintainers will decide where it will be merged in "version 4.5 or later". Which says to me it will almost certainly be "or later" unless the front-end is truly standalone and can be flagged as experimental.
