The preferred thing to do is to add it to our "commitfest" queue,
which will ensure that it gets looked at eventually.  The currently
open cycle is 2022-09 [1] (see the "New Patch" button there).

I believe you have to have signed up as a community member[2]
in order to put yourself in as the patch author.  I think "New Patch"
will work anyway, but it's better to have an author listed.
