Hi,

You'll want to follow the procedures outlined on:

http://cygwin.com/contrib.html

This includes submitting an assignment form since your changes to the
cygwin dll are so great.  You'll notice that the directions ask for a
patch against current CVS sources and that patches should be sent to the
cygwin-patches mailing list.

Cheers,
Nicholas
