Well, I am not speaking for the project as a whole, but past experience
seems to indicate that support for newer toolchain is added by
contributors (which, really, can be anyone) on an ad hoc basis, when the
need is identified and/or a new toolchain becomes popular, as well as
*if* the definitions from the current toolchain (such as GCC5) do not
work well enough to support the later versions.
So I don't think there are official plans with regards to adding such an
such toolchain (such as GCC8 or VS2019) apart from waiting for
contributors, who might have a vested interest in those, to provide
patches where needed. For most Open Source projects, this usually happen
organically, without any specific timeline, as each toolchain becomes
more widespread.
