So... What's the question? ;-)
If you were simply planning to announce the scripts, then this probably is
the best forum (in which case you might also want to attach them).
Alternatively, you could try providing (and maintaining) them as a Cygwin
package (which is not as hard as people think), and see if they get
accepted/voted for.
