You don't have to worry about what others are doing.  You're the first,
so you win.

Just submit a standard ITP with a setup.hint and a pointer to where
people can download the tar files.  There is no need to post source code
here.

You're already fully approved for this.

Thanks for doing this.  You're also an automatic gold star recipient if
you see this through to the end.  :-)
