Thanks for stepping forward :)

If you are not already on the mythtv-theming mailing list 
(http://www.mythtv.org/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-theming) join and then 
send an email introducing yourself and ask on there what is the best way 
forward.

While adding the theme to the MythTV-Themes github repository 
(https://github.com/MythTV-Themes) is what most theme owners seem to be 
doing you just need to make sure there's a repo or a place to download 
the theme from and we can then do the rest to make sure it's available 
in the theme chooser.  I know Michael Dean has been helping other theme 
developers add their theme to the github repository so if that's the way 
you want to go then he is the one to ask.
