Extending Npcap

Cheers,

I'd like to extend Npcap library to support an additional capture device. Goal is to contribute the code to your nice 
project so it'll be available to the whole public in future.
I already have an (up-to-date) running libpcap implementation for Linux and also (an older implementation) for WinPcap.

As far as I understood, Npcap is based in libpcap and thus would not require any separate implementation for Windows?

So what would be the best way to get my code into an upcoming release of Npcap?
Should I contribute my code to the-tcpdump-group/libpcap project and it'll find its way to Npcap? Should I contribute 
to nmap/libpcap?
Or do I even have to push the Windows-only part of the old WinPcap source to nmap/npcap (packetWin7)?

Best regards,
Holger
