If you don't want to list yourself and no one else steps up, just mark

Sounds good, thanks for explaining. I'll get going on the autoconf stuff
then.

Jim, would you be willing to be the maintainer for this in gnulib? If so
then I can fix the autoconf this week and get it ready to go

As soon as this is added to gnulib, I'll be happy to prepare for a new
gzip release that includes it.

I should also add that I'm planning long term to try and get the major open
source tools (e.g. gzip) using the most efficient algorithms for CRC32, so
there will be more patches coming in future to match the ones I've
submitted to coreutils. Are there any volunteers to be maintainer for these?

fine by me, this just requires a change to the build script then? the
binding in crc.c has #ifdefs around it already

ok, so we just need crc pclmul to be explicitly flagged o
Thanks for continuing work on this! I'd like to focus on a meta issue
first. I'd prefer of the crc PCLMUL feature is "opt-in" from a package
maintainer point of view. Do you see any problem with that? What I'm
after is that people who import the 'crc' module now don't automatically
get the CRC

This module is in your responsibility, Simon. What's your take on Sam's

I have already experience with it: Since 2018, all tarballs of GNU gettext
were made with --format=ustar. I have tested them on all possible platforms,

This has been the main inspiration and reference for me
