When will the safe string functions of C11 be part of glibc? [closed]

The C11 standard Annex K defines a bunch of new safer string functions, all suffixed by _s (e.g. strcpy_s).

Do you know when these new functions will become available in the GNU C library glibc?

So far you have to fall back to a third party library like safec.

When someone contributes an implementation and convinces GLIBC maintainers that these functions are good to have.

Relevant thread from 2007.
