What is the status of Zhaoxin's or your copyright assignment to the FSF?

Contributions to the glibc project require copyright assignment to the FSF.

Please see our contribution checklist:
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Contribution%20checklist#FSF_copyright_Assignment

You will need a corporate assignment, your employer will have to sign the
assignment paperwork.

I suggest you start by following this process:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/plain/doc/Copyright/request-assign.future

And answering the question "Do you have an employer who might have a basis 
to claim to own your changes?" is the most important question, since it
starts the process of corporate copyright assignment.
