If you want and have a good rational then Sourceware could of course
provide (sub)domains like glibc.sourceware.org or
gnu.toolchain.dev/glibc or (in cooperation with the fsf-tech team)
glibc.gnu.org, etc. backed by different VMs or services.

Best action item would be to first seek concensus on moving forward
with any of these proposals. Otherwise you risk spending time on
things nobody will use or worse create a fork and split the community:

Like Zoë said we could achieve much more by working together:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/[email protected]
And there have been many constructive suggestions how we could do that.

Cheers,

Mark
