I have a modified Linux manpage almost ready to go; I assume that

No, that would be appropriate only if the man page was found in the
winsup hierarchy. The first line of printf(3) says "NEWLIB" when
I type "man 3 printf" so that's where a man page patch should go.
Ok, that's what I kind-of thought... Hmm, shame on the newlib folks
for having such a poorly-up-to-date manpage. :-) Anyway, I guess this
means that gmane.comp.lib.newlib will suffice?
If that equates to newlib at sources dot redhat dot com, then yes.
http://gmane.org/list-address.php?group=gmane.comp.lib.newlib
Seems to...
(But... this means what? If the newlib folks don't like it, Cygwin is
just stuck with a /wrong/ manpage?)
Well, we could scold them mercilessly and send them to their rooms
without
dinner. ;-)
Let's not look for a problem that doesn't currently exist.
Well then, let's hope they accept it. And in a timely manner, would be
nice. :-)
Ok, so the other question... assuming it is accepted upstream tomorrow,
how long would it likely take to find its way into a Cygwin package?
You'd see it as soon as the maintainer of the cygwin-doc package released
an update.
