I think it would be worth talking to the rpmforge folk; they may find a 
space for you and I think that would be more visible.

I think they also have rpms for other distros, and I suppose that might 
be of interest.

If you think RHEL (and its clone) users might be interested, CentOS has 
an area for RHEL-compatible packages. Some CentOS users might be more 
adventurous than RHEL users; they don't have support arrangements to break.
