Best bet would probably be to: 1. Upload the files to a code hosting repository: gitlab.com; sourcehut.org; notabug.org; or similar. (Sourcehut.org supports Mercurial directly; I think the others only support Git.) 2. Having done that, I guess you could (subject to Kevin McCarthy's approval - he's the Mutt maintainer and I can't speak for him) perhaps edit https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/-/wikis/ConfigTricks to add a sentence or two describing your tools and linking to the hosted version of them that you created in the previous step. > I've attached them here anyway. Thanks :) Would you be willing to mention a license? Without a license, your scripts are technically non-free software, i.e. others don't have the right to distribute them, modify them, or share their modifications. I'd suggest AGPLv3 as a good default Free Software license https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#AGPLv3.0 ; but given that these are small (<300LOC) programs, you might prefer a "pushover" license like Apache v2: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-recommendations.html#small https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#apache2 . -- A: When it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
