Wiki? Yes.
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/
You'll have to make a new page for the straw-man proposal that will
eventually become the API if we can get consensus.
Note that you cant edit the wiki until someone vouches for you:
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/EditorGroup
You can ask on #glibc on freenode to get added or for someone to
vouch for you as not-a-spammer.
Cheers,
Carlos.
