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.
