Hi Daniele, I believe I know some other people over at Develer. ;-) You can contribute like any other open source project: just submit a patch. Please submit patches to the Patch Tracker on the avr-libc project on Savannah. We have had people ask about time.h in the past. The problem with it is that there is no common hardware standard on the AVR for timekeeping. So our standard answer has always been that we can't generally support time.h because there's no common way to do this for all AVR projects. However we're always open to new ideas and if you have a proposal then let's please discuss.
