No, I won't, because there are _plenty_ of other things that need fixing.
If you don't want to help the glibc hackers, then choose something else.
That said, helping the glibc hackers is simply not that hard. The only
advantage anyone else has over you at hacking glibc is that they've
already spent the time and energy to learn about how it works. And since
it's free software, there is _nothing_ stopping you from doing the same.
Stop talking and go fix some bugs.
