If you have time for it, your best bet is to contribute this change by
forking msysgit.git on GitHub.

See
 https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki#how-to-participate
 https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#i-want-to-upgrade-perl-how-do-i-do-that
for hints.  (Short answer: the usual way would be to add a
/src/grep/release.sh script that builds and installs 'grep', imitating
others /src/*/release.sh scripts, to make it easy to keep grep.exe up
to date in the future.)

Thanks for your interest, and hope that helps,
Jonathan
