In answer to your questions from there:

Posting here was a good first step.  See full instructions here:

 http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Module_Maintainers#New_Maintainer

Please post the proposed module as an attachment here for discussion
and review.  Once things are in good shape then we will ask you to
sign up for Git access.

We require the BSD 3-Clause license, please.  The developer manual:

 http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/manual/cmake-developer.7.html#find-modules

specifies the exact format in which the legal notice must appear.
The test suite verifies it.

The documentation goes in the module as described here:
