Is this still the case? glibc's maintenance is a lot more
functional and welcoming now than when you last dealt with it, I

I'd say that the responsiveness of the localedata maintainers goes up
and down over time. It may have improved, but if you are unlucky it may
take 'forever'.
The latest example I'm aware of is <https://launchpad.net/bugs/1658068>.
Patch posted upstream 6 months ago, and still not even a response. Bad.
(It's usually best to get things as far upstream as possible.)
Indeed, and in any case trying to get a new locale accepted by glibc
should always be step #1. Patching locales in Debian and/or Ubuntu
should be a last resort.
