I do hope the glibc community trusts Sourceware.

The Sourceware Project Leadership Committee does have regular
discussions with the FSF and coordinates with the FSF tech-team around
shared services we provide to GNU projects like glibc.

Also we made sure that in our agreement with our fiscal sponsor, the
Software Freedom Conservancy, we put in writing that any
infrastructure software used is and will be published as Free
Software. See the Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement at
https://sourceware.org/mission.html#plc

If the glibc community has any concerns about the Sourceware
infrastructure and services, or simply would like to improve them,
then please do reach out:
https://sourceware.org/mission.html#organization

The Sourceware Project Leadership Committee also meets once a month to
discuss all community input, set priorities and decide how to spend
funds, etc.

Cheers,

Mark
