Excellent. If anybody on the team right now is the perfect person for
this task, it's you; I just wasn't clear on whether you'd have any
hope of having time for it.
If it's borderline whether you would or not, perhaps we could find
someone else to be a "research assistant" for the testing project.
This could involve tasks like:
- Reading the git log and making a list of noteworthy bugs to add
regression tests for.
- Determining (perhaps via automated coverage tools) major code we
lack any testing for.
- Cross-checking glibc bug tracker and/or glibc tests for issues that
should be checked in musl too.
