Hi Rebecca, I think the truth is we're a bit resigned about edk2-libc in general. My view is it should be either maintained or deprecated (or replaced).
And maintainership *should* mean at least keeping it up to date with security fixes. I personally have no enthusiasm for the topic, but if there existed: - An up-to-date codebase. - A plan for keeping the coodbase up-to-date (as opposed to a plan to keep the codebase up-to-date). - At least a couple of maintainers. I would have no objection to that existing under the TianoCore umbrella.
