Is C11 threads support really wanted in glibc?

Hello everyone,
As some of you know, I have been doing some work regarding C11 threads as I
found an open bug on Bugzilla to add support for them.
Over the last year, and on and off, I have submitted some patches and some
of you have guided me through the process but now that it's working and
just some review is required, the last patches, even after a few pings
didn't get much attention, so I would like to ask the people involved here:
Is it _really_ desired or wanted to add support for ISO C11 threads.h?
Even though I'm doing this just to learn and contribute to the open source
community, I would like to know if I should keep trying with this, or focus my
efforts in other features of glibc.
Please, I don't want to create any controversy here, just your honest
opinion to focus my efforts on this or in something new.
Cheers.
