    There is no "post here and we will include it" board or something.

    Make sure people use your software.
    That might get it included in distros.

    Or, contact them and make a good presentation and who knows ...

    It's ext3/ext2 file recovery.When you install the tool ,it copies address of your files.If you accidently deleted a file -you can retrieve it using the tool.
    I already uploaded it on sourceforge site.
    see here
    Got pretty good response from fellow developers and subscribers too.
    see here
    Still i'm working to making tool much more efficient.
    Thanks.

    You dont need to do anything else, just keep improving it until it works the way you're happiest with. If others find it useful (and it's publicly visible on sourceforge) then it could well find its way onto distros.
