I think a simple write-up of how it is done would be a good starting point. Of course since there is custom code involved there are a number of ways that could be presented. Any non-graphite code (like your windows service) could simply be published however you'd like. For changes to graphite code, a public Launchpad-hosted bzr branch would be ideal. We can go from there as needed (making it work against current trunk, integrate some of your carbon changes, etc). For the write-up you could add a page on the wiki if you'd like, though once all the details are ironed out it'd be nice to get it into the readthedocs build.
