Thank you for your interest in Emacs.
I think the next steps would be:
. post here a patch relative to typescript-ts-mode.el as we have it
on the master branch of the Emacs Git repository, so people could
review your changes and suggest improvements if needed
. start your legal paperwork of assigning to FSF the copyright for
your changes -- contributions of this size cannot be accepted
without the assignment
The last point is actually the first one you should consider. If you
are okay with assigning the copyright to the FSF, I will send you the
form to fill and the instructions to go with it, so you could start
the paperwork rolling; then you can post the patches even before the
process is completed (but we will wait for it to complete before we
can install your changes). If for some reason you are unwilling or
unable to assign the copyright, then your code will have to be a
separate package, perhaps part of Non-GNU ELPA, not an integral part
of typescript-ts-mode.el that comes with Emacs.
