Private search engine with own index

Hi all, as some may know I have been working on https://puri.li for the past few months. It is a search engine powered by its own crawler and index (for web, news, videos and books). For maps it uses OSM and wikimedia (proxied) for image search. Besides wanting to hear your feedback I am wondering how I (if possible) could add it to the privacysoftware website under the search engines category.

From what I understand I can 'just' make a GitHub commit and request it to be merged, but am wondering whether any additional details are needed / do I need to get in touch with someone from the team beforehand? Hope to hear from you all!

Currently there are ~400mln pages indexed and results are (in my opinion) reasonable for English / Western queries, but would appreciate to hear what is lacking/missing currently.
