The package was actually imported by Enrico in 2005.

If what you say is correct, that would mean it was already retired and he
resurrected it.
I must admit that I've forgotten what review procedure had been used

RFE: dietlibc review
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2005-May/msg00683.html
Who remembers the details?
I just found this:

I also vaguely recall some controversial reviews, where Enrico insisted
on using dietlibc instead of glibc for "performance reasons".
