You're 90% done, assuming you picked the correct devel repo.

See http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:How_to_contribute_to_Factory

So once it is submitted to the systemsmanagement:wbem devel project,
then you just need to submit it from there to factory.

OpenFATE is not involved, and I would say the email you sent qualifies
as the factory notification email.
