Before you think about contributing to the project, please read through
the contribution checklist to make sure that you understand what it means
to contribute to glibc.
This project is a core library that is a key piece of the GNU/Linux
ecosystem. As such we follow some pretty strict rules that help keep
everything in order.
You can see the list here:
http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Contribution%20checklist
The most important thing is copyright assignment:

If you have any questions please feel free to ask!
Cheers,
Carlos.
