As I have no use for UTF-8 and msdosfs works for me, I 
have no interest here.  As far as coaching, I'll give you
the secret to how I started fixing libm:

step 1.  Obtain src/
step 2.  Read relevent files in src/
step 3.  Find problem.
step 4.  Search literature.
step 5.  Fix problem.
step 6.  Submit patch
     6a. Receive review of patch.
     6b. Fix patch based on review.
     6c. Resubmit patch.
[[step 7. commit patch]
step 8.  goto step 2.

Repeat often enough and be rewarded with commit bit and step 7
is no longer optional.
