How to make a package for XEmaacs

[smitchel]

My son Byrel and I have made three programs that we want to make into 
packages for distributing with the XEmacs packaging system: an easy way 
to change buffer colors, an implementation of icon themes, and thirdly, 
a CNC major mode with a lot of code(200k?) for editing CNC G-code 
machine files for different machine tools.

He'll be home from grad school for a bit next month and I am trying to 
get things ready so we can make and upload the packages then.

I can find descriptions of the package system, how to use it to update 
your packages etc, but I am not finding a step by step list of 
directions to make some lisp code and some documentation into a package.
Is there such a list, and if not, where do I go to learn how to make a 
package?

I would appreciate any advice, or pointers to documentation that anyone 
can give.

Also, is there an approval/review process for packages?
Assuming I get them made in some way or another, where is it appropriate 
to upload them?  I don't think I have write access to anything that I 
know of and expect I won't get everything right the first time around.
