that is quite easy: contact directly H-C Steiner to get a svn account,  
then upload your code - or ask him more about how to do it.

ahhh, there's no policy. anyone who manifests interest in joining in joins  
in, I guess. there's also no admittance test, so everyone just puts in the  
code he wants (sometimes even buggy code). which makes the whole a thing  
not really totally übersichtlich (one of the GSC projects was to organize  
and catalog the externals on pd-ext).
but pd-ext is quite used (only hardcore people/code developers prefer  
pd-van), and it's the easiest way to make the code available to everyone.  
of course it can happen that no one notices it's there, because there are  
around 2000+ files in the /extra folder of pd-ext.
