I'm not sure what I should think about an steering comittee for glibc. 
There are a lot of pros and contras.

But we should really think about why there are so few people actively
contributing. There where some people in the past who was willing
to work for glibc, and there where some firms who were willing to
pay developers. Why haven't they done it ?
I think there goes something wrong in the past, which wouldn't
happen if we would have a steering committee. But I'm not sure
about this.

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
