Thanks for your interest.

For adding extension libraries, please check out the gawkextlib project here:
   http://gawkextlib.sourceforge.net/

The core gawk project is hosted here:
   https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gawk/
You can check out the git tree like so:
   git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gawk.git
and develop patches that you can submit to this list for review.

There's a very high hurdle for adding new features to core gawk.
New extension libraries are definitely welcome.

Andy
