We have the following components in glibc Bugzilla (numbers of open bugs
indicated):
admin|web|git 0
faq 1
hurd 11
libc 163
linuxthreads 2
localedata 50
manual 58
math 94
nis 0
nptl 29
nscd 5
ports 10
regex 11
163 "libc" bugs in particular is rather a large set for someone interested
in going through and fixing bugs in a particular area. I'd like to
propose some new, more specific, components to help make it easier for
people to find bugs in a subject area and see what areas need the most
work (just as things such as "regex" are split from "libc"):
* soft-fp (some bugs are presently in "libc", some in "math").
* stdio
* malloc
* ldso/libdl (for anything relating to the dynamic linker)
* network (for getaddrinfo etc. and any network-related functionality)
These components are based on my impressions of what significant groups of
"libc" bugs there are. In
<http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-02/msg00385.html> I also
proposed "build" (we have a few such bugs in "libc" at present).
