told me that the glibc maintainers have become much more responsive,
so maybe I should encourage you to try once again, when you find some
spare time :-), submitting to glibc.

I think Jan and I both intend to do this, but until such time as we can,
I'd like the docs to reflect reality.

We've run up against this condvar limitation on the system (glibc 2.15 on Linux with RT patch) we've been developing.

How can we help nudge the glibc maintainers? Is there some issue/fix voting system?

Well, at least this one is not working properly yet:

http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11588

Does someone have personal contact to a key persons from the community
and can raise the awareness level there?

This bug has all the context, so this is definitely the place to focus.
As for nudging people along in the right direction, I've tried appealing
to Mark Brown and the POSIX committee without success. I suppose we
could go back and review whatever changes were to the glibc development
processes and email the relevant individuals.
