If you are happy for us to add it to the theme chooser I can get that 
sorted for you.

The way it would work is our theme packaging script will full direct 
from your github repo.

Each MythTV version you want to support would need a branch in your 
repo. So you would probably create a fixes/0.27 branch from your current 
master since you say it is compatible with 0.27. Our packaging script 
would pull from that branch and make it available to 0.27 users in the 
theme chooser.

If you wanted to support 0.28 then you would create a fixes/0.28 branch 
and make any necessary changes to make it work with 0.28.

Your master branch is assumed to work with the current master version of 
MythTV in git which will be 0.29 eventually.

You just need to tell us which versions you want to support.
