You definitely can try, but you don't need to. It's not about
publicising them officialy on a big desk, it's only about adding the
source to SVN repository, so that if anyone would want to start using
them ...

I helps if you check what you have and document that a bit, but if the
only excuse would be "no time", you can commit the sources as they
are.

I don't know where you took all those fields from, but I don't use
checksum anywhere, and I don't know many TeX files using checksums,
esp. not in the source itself (isn't that chicken-and-hen problem? if
you calculate checksum, you cannot write it to file itself, since once
you change the file (checksum in file), the checksum of th emodified
file will change again?).

Some file have no comments at all, but it would be nice to unify
comments, at least the new ones.
