I think it is not so simple to understand what that software can do, 
probably it is better that Hermann create some examples that show what 
you can do with that.

I have seen other terminal "extensions" that let you have help during 
command composition...

If I don't mistake the software don't have a copyright statement and a 
license to apply to them.

If this is correct the software cannot be used by anyone without a 
written permission signed by the copyright owner.

I suggest to Hermann to search for a license to use and then to compile 
a correct "use" of that license (== Copyright + license).

You can find an useful introduction on how to do that here, also if you 
don't select the GPL license:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html

I would like to suggest to use always the AGPL license, this one is the 
only license that I know that let protect your free software on any 
actual usage type.

After you have done that and you have select a license that is 
"compatible" with Debian you can do:

1) ask is someone in Debian (a DD = Debian Developer) or someone else 
can create a package for this software and maintain it.

for doing that you can fill a bug report in the wnpp pseudo-package
you can see here the wnpp filled actually
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=wnpp

I would warn you that this is not a good choice, because probably you 
don't will find anyone that will do that.

2) package your software yourself and do the maintenance work. You must 
find a mentor that tell you what, eventually, you have make in the wrong 
way and help you solve problems. And also a DD: someone (that can be the 
same person above) that can publish the package in the Debian repository 
for you

you can find more info here:
