Feel free to post the patch to nginx-devel@ mailing list.  Some 
generic recommendations can be found here:

http://nginx.org/en/docs/contributing_changes.html

As of now another patcheset to introduce HTTP/2 support is being 
reviewed, as available here:

http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-devel/2017-June/010209.html

It also have quite a few "compromises" though, so nobody knows 
which one is better, at least without seeing your version.
