Sure, PRs are normally called Defect Reports or Issues. See:

    http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-active.html

If, after having throughly discussed the issue either on, say,
comp.std.c++ or the ISO C++ library reflector, you are sure there is a
bug in the Standard, just send a message to Hinnant, library Chair, and
ask for an issue to be opened.

But note that this is not an appropriate place for that kind of discussion.

Anyway, in passing, I note that neither fsync nor sync are part of the C
standard (which normally is the reference in C++ for specifying various
bits of the semantics of the file streams), thus, naively, something
seems fishy about the very way of approaching the issue...
