Which one do you mean?
If one for affected ports, it is corresponding maintainers task.
If one for libc, it is difficult (for me). The problem is that threads 
people do all that hiding in first place for their own needs. To simple 
unhide it, breaks threads. I think they must change replacement they need 
for functions to be truely internal, it makes all unhiding automatically.
