Re: Maintenance of the Hurd parts in glibc

[Richard Stallman]

    For getting invasive (read: interface changes and the like) changes into
    the Hurd we'd need (a) people to come up with such changes (!) and (b)
    have them attract Thomas Bushnell's or Roland McGrath's or Marcus
    Brinkmann's attention (which often enough is not trivial).

    But I deem it's very difficult to find someone to judge on such issues
    and have that person be a judge with Thomas Bushnell's or Roland
    McGrath's or Marcus Brinkmann's qualities.

    I can't be that person, and neither can -- in my opinion -- be the other
    people who took part in this discussion so far, as everyone of us lacks
    the experience to judge on such things.

I appreciate your modesty.  However, the expertise of those old Hurd
developers does us no good if they don't actually use it.  It would be
better for you to install these changes than for us to wait forever.

Would you be willing to do it?
