Congratulations !
Feel free to submit code to the ML (directfb, softdevice), to give a
chance to test.
If you modified libsoftmpeg, you can also upload your mods to the
DirectFB CVS repository, to have a broader audience. I think DOK was
interested (2005-09) in adding hardware support to the MPEG2 video
provider in DirectFB. If he can do this using your modified libsoftmpeg,
you will get much more testers and maybe developers.

Great !
I just though about something : if your code is a new output method, it
will only handle MPEG1/2, preventing from using softplay to decode DivX
et al. Maybe it's better implemented as an alternate decoder for the
directfb output method, giving a chance to still use current libavcodec
for other codecs.

Live your life, keep up the good work, and try to build a supporting
community around your project.
