Thanks, Siddhesh, yes, please could you add my username EgorKobylkin to
the editors group.

Rafal has requested help and guidance about this patch in another email
to this list [1]. I hope other members would chime in on that in time
for 2.29. I understand we need input from those involved in C locale
that is compiled into the libc binaries (as opposed to the rest of
locales that are shipped in plain text, not compiled).

@Rafal - I know you have asked to drop your email from To: as you are
getting them through your list subscription and so twice. But I guess
To: is still helpful to see who is involved. I am not subscribed to the
list myself, so I would like my email to be kept on To: or CC: for this.

Bests,
Egor
