Unless I'm mistaken, you are the current Textex-beta maintainer. So you need
to decide whether you will add this texmf stuff to tetex-beta, or whether a
new package that contains it is needed. (I supect a new package makes sense
if the texmf stuff doesn't change every time you compile the binaries).

If a new package - you don't need to be the texmf package maintainer, but
you can be if you want to.
