Found this: <https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/GlibcGit> which seems to be
how the public branch is to be created and maintained.
After reading through, my understanding is that a maintainer should create
the new branch and will be responsible for pushing accepted patches from
libc-alpha onto it.
Tulio, Joseph:
Of the handful who have commented thus far, only the two of you fit.
Would either of you take up the task?
Thanks.
Bert.
