What does a language need in order to be able to present a "convincing case"?  Speakers, literature, mainstream opensource localizations, wikipedia, could you tell me as maintainer what do you expect from a language to consider including it in glibc?  Apart from the ISO code, of course.

Once the required information is collected, should it be submitted to this list or to some glibc approval body?

Thanks, Eduardo.
