Solaris /dev/poll support for Squid 3 (how can I contribute)

  Dear Mailing List,

I have a contribution to make, a C++ file (and autoconf patches) for
/dev/poll Solaris support, ported from Squid-2 and in use on the BBC
(UK) estate managed by Siemens UK with permission from the BBC to
publish to the Squid open-source project.

I've not contributed to an open source project before and unsure how to
deliver the patch. We (at the BBC/Siemens) would like to see the patch
included so that future releases of Squid shall have the Solaris
/dev/poll support supplied (reducing the need for us to patch each
following release manually).

If one of you were to e-mail me directly I would be happy to provide the
following:
   comm_devpoll.cc - /dev/poll support file to add to /src/ subdir
   squid-root.diff - unified diff to update configure.in in the / subdir
   squid-include.diff - unified diff to update autoconf.h.in in the
/include/ subdir
   squid-src.diff - unified diff to update files Makefile.in and
unlinkd.cc in the /src/ subdir

The support for /dev/poll will be automatically detected by configure
and conditionally compiled in.

Kind regards,
