You need to create an account for you in the wiki and then you need to
be added to the editor group:
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/EditorGroup

I suggest to send an email to libc-alpha asking for review mentioning the
changes you made.

The first step is to update the branch.  It's still based on pre-2.30 code.
I can update it.

Then, we can resubmit the patches for broader review and, based on the
information added to the libmvec wiki page, people will be able to test the
patches with the correct GCC version, e.g. GCC version and required compiler
flags.

Notice that glibc source code is frozen now for the release of v2.31.
Sending the libmvec patches early in 2.32 will give us enough time to review,
merge and test.
