Well, part of your problem is that curl_multi_fdset is NOT the equivalent of
curl_multi_select in PHP. The PHP way seems to be using curl_multi_fdset() and
do the subsequent select() as well, all in the same function called
curl_multi_select.

We have plenty. They are included in every release archive and they are
available on the site: http://curl.haxx.se/lxr/source/docs/examples/

You can find several examples using curl_multi_fdset() in there. And if that
is not enough, we have lots of test cases that test the multi interface that
also shows how to use that function. See
http://curl.haxx.se/lxr/source/tests/libtest/

Fixes can be done by anyone. In the cURL project we have over 700 contributors
so far, and we're just 4-5 core guys in the "dev team". Everyone can
participate. I know this is true for the PHP project as well.

That's one of our libcurl examples. It shows how to use the libcurl API.

Are you now asking if I know how curl_multi_select() works? I don't. But I
could guess that it is a working approach. The comments in that bug entry seem
to indicate that.
