GNU Regex, is now maintain inside GNU Lib C, with various contribution
by GNU *utils package using it ,  but you will not get much sympathy
from U. D., if you are just demanding for them to be improve without
any commitement on your part.

But That was my last email exchange almost 3 years now.  If my memory
is correct, Mr Spencer implementation with locale etc .. was  more complete
then GNU Regex, But you will not gain anything more when it comes to speed.
By the way GNU regex also offers the full Posix API. Things will get quite
gruesome if you intented to modify the code to make it understand the full
locale range as define in Posix.
