I haven't looked at the code yet but would it make sense for your new
mode just being renamed to "org-bullet" instead? Do you expect that some
current users won't want to update?

If you want to stick with creating a new mode, are there any bug fixes
that you could backport to "org-bullet"?

I don't actually use it myself and just enable it temporarily if someone
reports a bug or something.  It's not that I am not interested in
something like this package, but from the sound of it I would rather use
your package than the old "org-bullet".

If I remember correctly it, then it took some effort to contact sabof,
but eventually they gave their blessing.
