The maintainers (Gary Vaughan and Eric Blake) are both active, so I think it's worth it; Eric works on gnulib too. You're right that of course for practical purposes it requires new releases using the fixed version of gnulib, but many of these issues (this one included) affect multiple packages, and also it's possible to "repair" a broken package by refreshing gnulib before building. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org
