unfortunately, if you make modifications and you want them to be "upstreamed" (using libre/open project terminology as an alonogy) you cannot do that without participating in the RISC-V Foundation. you can implement APPROVED (Authorized) parts of the RISC-V specification. you cannot arbitrarily go changing it and still call it "RISC-V", that's a Trademark violation.
