Who will fix the mbed system gmtime() function?

Today I discovered that the mbed gmtime() function is basically broken. I also then found someone else asking about this 2 years ago:

Also someone else doing other work had to implement a work-around for this also two years ago:

Seriously, did nobody test the basic system libraries during development?

It is really worrying from a point of view of eventual code quality and operational safety when your system-supplied stuff is broken. You know the stuff you normally should use instead of developing your own because it should have been thoroughly tested, and that nobody had fixed a reported problem in 2 years.
