Yes, it is possible.  We could easily allow you to maintain a distribution
of libzt from MinGW.  Incorporating the code into the mingw-runtime would
take on a different path of discussion and is not likely to happen.  If
you wish to distribute your library from the MinGW project see
http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/JoinTheDevelopersList for
reference.
