"The GNU C library was originally written primarily by Roland McGrath
<address@hidden> when he worked for the FSF. In 2001 The GNU C Library
Steering Committee <address@hidden>, was formed and currently consists
of Mark Brown, Paul Eggert, Andreas Jaeger, Jakub Jelinek, Roland
McGrath and Andreas Schwab. Ulrich Drepper is currently the foremost
contributor and has overall responsibility for maintenance and development."

IOW, he is the guy that has to review and approve the patch, unless you
try to go through the Steering Committee.
