Answer 1

To add your extension to Joomla Extension Directory you have to register and your addons should be compliant with listing rules over JED

Quoted from JED :

Any person or company is welcome to
submit their extensions, tools or
libraries for inclusion in the Joomla!
Extensions Directory. There are some
basic rules that all extensions must
comply with to qualify for inclusion
in the Directory. Failure to comply
may result in removal from the
Directory.

By submitting a listing to the Joomla!
Extensions Directory, you agree to be
bound by these rules.

D2. Extensions, tools and libraries

1. Extensions must comply with Joomla! trademark policies.
2. An extension’s XML file should contain the copyright and license tag
   and state it is licensed under the
   GPL.
3. The file headers of an extension should contain a copyright notice and
   a notice that the file and extension
   is distributed under the terms of the
   GPL.
4. A copy of the GPL needs to be included with the extension package.
   The copy of the GPL does not need to
   be installed with the extension.
5. Extensions must have basic functionality. Basic functionality is
   to be determined at the discretion of
   the Joomla! Extensions Directory team
   and Open Source Matters.
6. All extensions must be installable on the Joomla! platform. The only
   exception to this rule are the
   applications in the ‘Tools’ category.
7. Extensions which alter any code must do so through the standard
   Joomla! install and uninstall process.
   Uninstalling should revert any changes
   made to the original code.
8. Extensions may not ‘call home’ to function. Extensions are allowed to
   ‘call home’ to do version checks and
   other ‘call homes’ will be evaluated
   on a case by case basis. Acceptance of
   a method and/or function is at the
   sole discretion of the Joomla!
   Extensions Directory team and Open
   Source Matters.
9. Extensions may not be commercially encrypted.
10. Extensions may only solicit votes and/or reviews in the manner defined
    below.
11. Extensions which are forks must comply with the forking policy listed
    below.

That’s it!
