Sorry, but there's no one keeping track of patches sent via email these days -
they're basically lost forever at this point for X.Org now.  Patches submitted
via gitlab merge requests may take years to get merged, but at least gitlab
still tracks them.  There's just not enough people left maintaining the various
X.Org project repos.

As for submitting via gitlab, you need an account specifically on
gitlab.freedesktop.org - though I believe you can set it up to use logins
from github.com or gitlab.com - and then to request permissions as listed at
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freedesktop/freedesktop/-/wikis/home
