[Bug localedata/23831] New: nl_NL missing LC_NUMERIC thousands_sep


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23831

            Bug ID: 23831
           Summary: nl_NL missing LC_NUMERIC thousands_sep
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: sourceware.org at troep dot com
                CC: libc-locales at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

Currently the thousands_sep is empty "" this should be changed to "."

I've compiled a small list of sources:

- https://onzetaal.nl/taaladvies/getallen-uitschrijven
- https://taaladvies.net/taal/advies/vraag/1
- https://www.taaltelefoon.be/getallen-komma-punt-spatie
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator#Examples_of_use ->
Netherlands (most common)

- https://www.bing.com/search?q=test&setlang=nl-nl (30.100.000 Resultaten)
- Microsoft Windows also uses . as the default thousands separator.
- All our close neighbours use . (eg: nl_BE fr_BE de_DE da_DK)

Weird why no one bothered to file a bug for the last 22 year:
