Given Alex's work I would estimate anywhere between 6 months and a year for a single person to review all the functions. The work had a narrow scope in order to complete on those timelines. For functions that were known either to be safe, or known to be unsafe, we made a judgement call at the time to review them or not. You can see this by looking at the per-function safety comments. Functions that were not documented were not reviewed, but those missing functions were added as comments in the documentation i.e. look for "@c FIXME these are undocumented:". There are 18 functions in filesys.texi, 9 in libdl.texi, 118 in threads.texi, and 2 in users.texi which are not documented and thus were skipped in this first round. I did not want their lack of documentation to stall this work. I am happy to see stubs in place in the glibc manual for all of the undocumented functions, and I'm happy to see the stubs have safety notations.
