I had a similar problem myself so I started to subscribe
to the mailing list a week ago,
I explained in an "[RFC]" mail what I wanted to do with the linker.
Provided the first patchset, got some comments and reworked
the patch as well as adding to the "NEWS" file, the ld.texi for
documentation and finally added a testsuite for my new ASCIZ feature.
Nick Clifton made some small modifications and then pushed
the patch to the master branch so one week later it is part of binutils.

Working on my second patch at the moment.
