I would leave that up to you, you can send it in email, post it on
your github or whatever seems convenient for you.
Regarding the GUI, you can look at this ticket:
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/3510

Basically, the GUI is mostly ported to work with wxPython4 (phoenix),
which is (unlike wxpython 3) Python 3 ready. So far we are running the
GUI on Python 2.7 only. There are some loose ends and depreciation
warnings, which would be nice to get rid of. Since we need to keep
backwards compatibility with wxpython 3, we wrapped some GUI classes
(gui/wxpython/gui_core/wrap.py), so you can start there. You need to
test your changes under both wxpython 3 and 4. Let me know if you need
more clarification. More info what is Attribute Table manager:

https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/WxGUI_Attribute_Table_Manager

To post a patch in that ticket, you need to get osgeo id:

Best,
