As with any contribution, the first step is copyright assignment - the
author needs to contact the FSF.  If you're interested in doing this,
let me know and I can send you the form.  Then the second step is to
post the changes to gdb-patches.

I don't think anything large will make 6.8 at this date but there's
always another release.
