I used these shell commands:

(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012
in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the
glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license
header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the
possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are
copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect
reality in those cases.
Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by,
etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these
contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in
manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a
courtesy to the earlier developers.
The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in
place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These
were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be
of any use in future given that this is a one time task:

In bug 14906 the user complains that the inotify support in nscd
is not sufficient when it comes to detecting changes in the
configurationfiles that should be watched for the various databases.
The current nscd implementation uses inotify to watch for changes in
the configuration files, but adds watches only for IN_DELETE_SELF and
IN_MODIFY. These watches are insufficient to cover even the most basic
uses by a system administrator. For example using emacs or vim to edit
a configuration file should trigger a reload but it might not if
the editors use move to atomically update the file. This atomic update
changes the inode and thus removes the notification on the file (as
inotify is based on inodes). Thus the inotify support in nscd for
configuration files is insufficient to account for the average use
cases of system administrators and users.
The inotify support is significantly enhanced and described here:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-02/msg00504.html
Tested on x86_64 with and without inotify support.
Currently, the nscd parent process parses commandline options and
configuration, forks on startup and immediately exits with a success.
If the child process encounters some error after this, it goes
undetected and any services started up after it may have to repeatedly
check to make sure that the nscd service did actually start up and is
serving requests.
To make this process more reliable, I have added a pipe between the
parent and child process, through which the child process sends a
notification to the parent informing it of its status. The parent
waits for this status and once it receives it, exits with the
corresponding exit code. So if the child service sends a success
status (0), the parent exits with a success status. Similarly for
error conditions, the child sends the non-zero status code, which the
parent passes on as the exit code.
This, along with setting the nscd service type to forking in its
systemd configuration file, allows systemd to be certain that the nscd
service is ready and is accepting connections.
These prototypes are duplicated in many places. Add a dedicated
header for holding prototypes for program-specific functions to
avoid that.

nscd can clear caches when certain files change. The list of files
was hardcoded so far and worked for nss_files and nss_dns and those
modules which need no monitoring. nss_db, for instance, has its
own set of files to monitor. Now the NSS modules themselves can
request that certain files are monitored.
