I've not made extensive use of the granted commit privs since my
flurry of localedata work in 2013, but it is my hope to resume more
active work on locales, particularly in the area of helping new
locales get needed commits. Mike Frysinger (vapier) has done some
very valuable work recently on localedata review and tickets review, I
hope to work collaboratively with him and any other interested parties
to bring down the open bugs numbers for localedata.
