Can someone submit a patch on my behalf?

Can someone submit a patch on my behalf?

[lob]

Hi there.

I have been playing with "msort.c", the primary implementation of the
standard library qsort() function.  I have a trivial change that
nevertheless speeds it up by up to 10%.  It seems to me that this
would be a cheap but impactful improvement.

Unfortunately I lack the resources or wherewithal to follow the
procedure outlined at
[https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Contribution%20checklist], to build
and test the entire library.  Would it be possible to have an existing
contributor submit the patch on my behalf?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Chris.

Hi,

My plan for next release is in fact to remove mergesort implementation from qsort [1]. The cover-letter from the patchset has the rationale of why to remove it.
