There isn't an "official guideline", as we don't have the storied
"openSUSE build infrastructure" in place yet. For now the only way to go
would be to file an enhancement request in bugzilla an attach your
specfiles to it. If we like the package and want to have it in SUSE Linux,
we might take up your work, review it and put it into in. Note: This is
the current way to go - this will change dramatically in the future.

Yes, I guess we all agree! For now I'd just like to point out one thing:
Please drop the idea of one centralized distribution that everyone is
trying to get changes / packages in. I know that this sound very strange
at first, but it will be fundamental for the future success of openSUSE!
