Putting it here is a good start. Maybe put it in a publicly
accessible repository (maybe Gitlab? I'd suggest GitHub, but
Microsoft) so you can also push any changes needed, and anyone who
wants to can suggest improvements and report bugs.
From there, if you (or anyone) wants to submit a port, they've got a
central place to pick up the latest version. If you wanted to do this
yourself, your best bet is to look for any ports that have TCL as a
prerequisite, and go from there.
