There are currently over 500 glibc patches shown at
<http://patchwork.sourceware.org/project/glibc/list/>.
If a patch of yours has been committed, please mark it as such; if
superseded by a newer version, likewise. See
<https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Patch%20Review%20Workflow> for more
details. Making such updates for other people's patches is a good idea as
well if you can reliably determine the state of a patch. Reviewing
patches that need review is also useful; marking committed / superseded /
rejected patches helps make it easier to see what needs review; the
present list is too long to see that easily.
Note: do not trust the patch names to be reliable in all cases; look at
the actual patch shown to see whether that particular patch was approved /
superseded / committed / .... A patch posted in the middle of the
discussion of another patch may well have a misleading name in patchwork
(i.e. the subject line of the email, which may actually relate to another
patch). In particular, [COMMITTED] markers in patch subjects don't always
indicate that the patch described by that patchwork entry was committed;
sometimes the patchwork entry is for an uncommitted patch posted in
discussion of a committed one.
