Hey Jonathan,
This is awesome! I think for the most part you should commit your patches directly, once you have the approval of the maintainer of a given library, which is sounds like you have for cyclone.
For the rest of the libraries, the author is no longer the maintainer, so you can start by asking here.

Hi Pd-dev-ers, I've got a bunch of external help patch revisions where I corrected typos and added a [pd META] subpatch to each help patch. (Additionally, I added help patches for some objects that did not have them.) This makes it possible to search through externals (as well as internals) for any info that's listed in the KEYWORD/values pairs (which are just comments inside the [pd META] subpatch).
The revisions for cyclone are ready to commit, as are some other libraries. For cyclone, I contacted Krzysztof Czaja (author) and Christoph Kummerer (original help patch author), who made some suggestions which I added.
Other than contacting the author(s) of each library, is there anything else I need to do before I commit the revisions?
Also, I've got a basic search patch going where you can search all tags, and I've almost finished making it possible to search for individual tag values. You can see three screenshots at: https://puredata.info/Members/jwilkes
