If you are ready, ask on the list for inclusion. Someone of the
developers will pick up your backend and include it into CVS.
You should ask Petter Reinholdtsen for CVS write access if you don't
have it until now. So you can update your backend later.

It would help if you can also provide the entries you would like to
see in AUTHORS and doc/sane.man.

Yes, testing on non-Linux-i386 is always a good thing (tm).
