Thank you, I've put this into my github fork, you can find it
somewhere here:

https://github.com/rluzynski/glibc/commits/master

Please search for "Genitive month names imported from CLDR" and then
inside for be_BY@latin. It's not yet ready to commit but you can
review. Note: we are close to the final release and we may not manage
to push this so late in this cycle. But let's keep trying.

I have reworded this to "maja".

Is that correct? I have nominative "Žnivień" -> genitive "žniŭnia".
Is that correct that "v" converts into "ŭ"? Which is correct?
"v" or "ŭ" or both? I will appreciate if you provide a reliable source.
It's really difficult that be_BY@latin is not supported by CLDR.

I have not touched the abbreviated month names. You can review and
notify me if there is anything wrong. Indeed, Belarusian language
has this tricky feature "май" -> "мая" but this is visible only
in the Cyrillic script (Latin: "maj" -> "maja" -> abbreviated "maj").
