Based on "git log localedata/charmaps", they seem to have existed for
a long time, extending into pre-history (the first commit in the log
is f5f52655, 1997-03-05).  localedata/README from back then says:

| The here contained files can originally be found at
|
|	ftp://dkuug.dk/i18n/WG15-collection
|
| Keld Jörn Simonsen from the Danish Unix User Group maintains this

| and
|	Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com>
|
| Please make sure your corrections are relativ to the originally

That collection still seems to exist, password-protected.  The history
since then in the glibc repo includes lots of seemingly manual fixes,
though.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
