Sorry to hear you’re feeling disappointed. I’ve personally saved links
to several of your scripts posted here over the course of time, and I
plan to have a closer look at them in the near future.
I guess there could be multiple reasons for lack of comments, namely
- Considering the “name” of this list (help-gnu-emacs), I wonder if most
users think of it as a mostly ‘help’-oriented list rather than a more
general-purpose list as the list description perhaps hints at: “Users
list for the GNU Emacs text editor”.
- People are likely quite busy, including myself, and may not currently
have enough time on their hands to quickly and thoroughly read new
posts to the list and reply.
- License is a valid concern as raised by others in the thread. In the
spirit of GNU Emacs, I’d recommend the GPLv3+, but you can of course
choose other free software licenses as well.
To license your file(s) under GPLv3+, you
1. add a license header to each of your files (example [0]), and
2. add a file named COPYING or LICENSE with the full text of the
license (see [1] below) to the root directory of your project.

Lastly, as to where you could host your elisp files, as someone else
mentioned, sdf.org is a good choice, which provides free (gratis) shell
accounts with a limited storage 20 MB which can be upgraded to 150 MB
for a one-time $36 fee. See [2,3] for more info.

A better option for hosting source code may be using a source revision
control system. Git is a popular choice these days. There are a number
of freedom-respecting software forges for hosting your git repositories,
such as GNU’s own Savannah [4], sourcehut [5], and NotABug [6]. If you
decide to use git, Magit [7] is a wonderful piece of software for doing
everything git-related from inside Emacs.
