I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(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:

This introduces the function __pthread_attr_extension to allocate the
extension space, which is freed by pthread_attr_destroy.

This is part of the libpthread removal project:
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2019-10/msg00080.html>
The symbol did not previously exist in libc, so a new GLIBC_2.32
symbol is needed, to get correct dependency for binaries which
use the symbol but no longer link against libpthread.
The abilist updates were performed by:
git ls-files 'sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/**/libc.abilist' \
| while read x ; do
echo "GLIBC_2.32 pthread_attr_setaffinity_np F" >> $x
done
python3 scripts/move-symbol-to-libc.py pthread_attr_setaffinity_np

With current kernel versions, the check does not reliably detect that
unavailable CPUs are requested, for these reasons:
(1) The kernel will silently ignore non-allowed CPUs, that is, CPUs
which are physically present but disallowed for the thread
based on system configuration.
(2) Similarly, CPU bits which lack an online CPU (possible CPUs)
are ignored.
(3) The existing probing code assumes that the CPU mask size is a
power of two and at least 1024. Neither has it to be a power
of two, nor is the minimum possible value 1024, so the value
determined is often too large. This means that the CPU set
size check in glibc accepts CPU bits beyond the actual hard
system limit.
(4) Future kernel versions may not even have a fixed CPU set size.
After the removal of the probing code, the kernel still returns
EINVAL if no CPU in the requested set remains which can run the
thread after the affinity change.
Applications which care about the exact affinity mask will have
to query it using sched_getaffinity after setting it. Due to the
effects described above, this commit does not change this.
The new tests supersede tst-getcpu, which is removed. This
addresses bug 19164 because the new tests allocate CPU sets
dynamically.
