Eric is right: First, you need to submit a copyright assignment for your
gnulib contributions to the FSF.
Then, since these functions are pretty OS independent, you could take
their glibc implementation, add a module description, an autoconf macro,
and a basic unit test, and contribute that to gnulib.

Right, this finding matches what my database of availability of functions
on various systems [1] tells. I'm updating the gnulib doc.

Solaris 9.
