Re: Maintenance of the Hurd parts in glibc (was: about GNU Hurd)

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   Registering patches in the glibc bugzilla had been made a
   requirement by the glibc (release) maintainers to get them into the
   non-HEAD branches, and since that was to a large share what we've
   been working on, this seemed the most suitable way to publish them,
   additionally to having published them on the bug-hurd mailing list.

The Hurd only follows HEAD.
