The formal procedure would be to write a library PEP, see PEP 2.

However, I recommend to distribute the module standalone (preferably
using distutils) for a while.

I find the name of the package misleading. It sounds like it would
provide support for IEEE 754, but it doesn't. Instead, it relies
that the underlying hardware is IEEE 754 compliant. If it were, this
module would be nearly irrelevant.
