Obviously, you need to write the patch first.  See the egcs page that gives the
general guidelines:

	http://egcs.cygnus.com/contribute.html

Note, new features usually are discussed in the general mailing lists before
being put in.  For EGCS, the mailing list is:

	egcs@cygnus.com	(subscribe via egcs-request@cygnus.com)

In terms of the FSF mailing list, I don't recall the details of joining
(previously, it was a closed list).
