If you want an example (with statistics, even), see the description of the status of the OpenFlow dissector: https://wiki.wireshark.org/OpenFlow If your dissector already passes all the test/check scripts and it's useful to at least some people then it's reasonable to commit it.

That way there's a place/links to sample captures and a human description of what the dissector does. Feel free to start now--anybody can modify the wiki (once they have an account anyway).
