Not at all.

Actually, the last time I spoke with the author, he informed me he did
not have time to work on it himself, but would appreciate bug fix
patches for upstream. I also had more pressing things to work on, but
I think getting the fixes back to him would be worthwhile. Perhaps
someone else could look at the git log for the bug fixes in musl and
figure out how to do the same upstream; it's not 100% trivial since
musl's version of TRE has been stripped down and simplified quite a
bit.
