From www.cygwin.com/lists.html - cygwin patches. If the code needs
design discussions and so forth, then cygwin-developers become on topic,
and you should join. Again, from the same page: "You can subscribe to or
unsubscribe from any of the above lists by sending email to
themailinglistname-subscribe AT cygwin DOT com or
themailinglistname-unsubscribe AT cygwin DOT com respectively."

Cool. Please wait to send it in until you've got the assignment in the
mail (and perhaps a scanned copy sent to Chris (Chris is this ok?) to
expedite things).
