Hi Kopsacheilis, that's great news on what you have achieved and that you want to share the development! It's a good decision, getting the code into DSpace will eliminate the burden of maintaining your patches against future new DSpace versions.
Right now we're in the point in the release cycle when we're busy on finalizing the release (DSpace 3.0), so we're not concentrating on new features. But after the release, in about a month, we'll resume accepting new features. In this case, I recommend you to first share patches you used to migrate DSpace to Solr 4.0 and then share the geospatial patches. Once the patches are accepted, your contributions would be available out-of-the-box in DSpace 4.0. We use Jira [1] to keep track of new features, improvements and bugs, so you may file these 2 bugs right away. You could also attach patches there as attachment, but since we're working with Git, we prefer to use GitHub [2] for collaboration. It would be preferable if you register for a GitHub account, create an organization (so that multiple people from your institution can work on your organization's repository), fork the DSpace repository [3], create a separate branch for each feature and then make pull requests against the DSpace/DSpace repository. It's really easy once you get the hang of it. Here's an example of a Jira issue we used to keep track of upgrading Solr to 3.5.0 [4]. It also contains links to the correspondig branch on GitHub. Meanwhile, if you want to make an addon for DSpace 1.8 or 3.0, you're welcome to do so, too. If you decide to do that, I will follow up with more instructions.
