Great. I am, of course, OK with assigning copyright in any case.

Sure. I haven't looked at the format for new tests; it might save some time if I just say that input FOO should produce output BAR, and let someone else translate that into what's needed. Meanwhile, if someone else thinks of tests that should be included (or finds a problem with my code as written), keep me in the loop to avoid duplication of effort.

You may want to use tests/sample-test as a starting point and to take inspiration from the others in tests/misc/split-*.
