Sorry, but the person who was maintaining the nls files in libX11 has left the

requests like this to do proactive work on the files.
Thanks Alan,
I do submit git format-patch/send-email patches to newlib and Cygwin libraries,
and maintain a bunch of Cygwin packages, but not X which is another volunteer,
but have only done a few MRs on GitHub.
So I could contribute changes, preferably via git format-patch/send-email, which
you could apply using git am, or sign in using my Gitlab account which I use for
other Gitlab based projects, and figure out merges and pushes or vice-versa again?
[I originally started using Cygwin as an easy way to use the GNU toolchain to
build packages on corporate Windows systems to get around limitations of SysV
and BSD utilities on SunOS and corporate Oracle Solaris servers and workstations
where GNU utilities were not supported nor allowed officially on systems,
although I could port and use them on projects.
So stuff got developed or ported and tested on Cygwin to run on Solaris,
including lots of Pro*C and some OCI code.]
