Unfortunately, Aeon is a minefield. There are several reasons why I
don't think we'll ever be able to add it to the official repo:

1. The original skin had no license. This is a biggie.
2. There are tons of forks. And a fair share of animosity. How to
choose without adding them all?
3. I understand that the original was pretty sloppy resulting in a
rather bloated, cpu-intensive skin. This may have been fixed in your
fork, I don't know.
4. The original and most forks rely on several non-standard
file-naming conventions and other assumptions. This is fine for a
specialty skin, but official addons should for the most part "just
work" out of the box.

Sorry to say, but I think that Aeon and its kin/descendants are
probably better left to personal repositories.
