Uhm. I disagree. Step one would be to get it packaged nicely. One way
to do that is getting it into a PPA. This allows you to prove that the
package builds okay on the Launchpad build servers.

That's not really true at all. There's plenty of people in the Ubuntu
project who package up other people's software. In fact it's a very
popular pastime amongst members of the MOTU team. I have packaged
other peoples stuff up voluntarily and it's been quite rewarding.

If Jesse wants more information about doing this himself he can look
at the following:-

If Jesse wants to see if someone else might be interested he could
file a 'needs packaging' bug:-
