Alright, thanks for the hint.
Uploaded a tarball + lsm file to
ftp://upload.kde.org/incoming/stable/KDE4.x
with the implicite request (by lsm primay-site entry) to put this tarball to
fto://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/cagibi

As this is my first time uploading to upload.kde.org since many years, 
anything else I need to do which is not described in the files on the ftp 
server?

Once the tarball is published there I should also make a more formal 
announcemen on kde-announce and o my blog, too, I guess.

Cheers
Friedrich

I'm afraid you would need to release official cagibi source tarball to have it 
considered by distro packagers (especially before adding it as a buildsystem 
dependency). Until then likely nobody is going to pick it up.
