I think I understand your point, but I think you are not expressing it
very clearly because these questions are phrased rhetorically or
sarcastically (at least that is how they read to me). Now people are
just answering your questions as if they are part of the disputed
proposal.

But all of these questions can (and should) be decided separately.
glibc is already setup on the forge https://forge.sourceware.org/glibc
Currently it is only used as stable mirror. But if someone wants to
experiment with merge requests we can install some of the bots/tools
gcc has been using. If any list should be closed, archived,
renamed/split we can easily do that, no need to move infrastructure.
glibc buildbot results are already going into bunsen
https://builder.sourceware.org/testruns/ connecting patchwork and
buildbot is a work in progress.

Cheers,

Mark
