Best to follow the the preferred submission protocol for the GCC
project; they should be able to tell you how to proceed.

AFAIK, whoever submits them will be required to file a copyright
assignment with FSF.  Maybe Chris was not willing to do that, but
you are?  If you are going to submit on his behalf, then I guess
you'd need his written permission.

Yes; please post it as a contributed package, via the FRS.  (You
will see that we already have an earlier version there, so be sure
to identify the newer version appropriately).
