Anyone will be able to add it to configuration.nix this way. You can
also import /etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix and pass
__currentSystem (or check what is done in nixos/system/system.nix ) to it.

Maybe you should think of submitting a few packages tailored for usage
of your choice and then you'll probably get access at least for the
packages to be finally committed into all-packages.nix ...
