It sounds like you're going about it in the right way.
I'm guessing you are going to run into issues with desktop-y packages.
If you can provide sane fixes or workarounds for these issues, please
file bugs with patches.
Basically, as long as your changes don't break anything and aren't
horribly ugly, I don't think you'll have too much trouble convincing
package maintainers to apply them.
You may have a harder time convincing the docs team to put it in
official documentation (like the handbook). I would suggest using the
new wiki[1] to write a how-to or something.
