It depends, how well the encoding is worked out according to LaTeX and TeX
standards. There is a less known restriction on upper/lowercase tables in
TeX, only the last one active in a paragraph is ever used. For this reason,
the upper/lowercase table of the encoding to be registered must be as
similar as possible to the T1 table for a T$n$ encoding.

Well worked out also means a draft for a TNenc.def file.

The LaTeX team finally decides, to reach the whole team the bug-report
mechanism is the right way. There should be a clear resposibilty for
registering an encoding assigned to the original author of the package, who
can change it, if necessary. Third party registrations are imho a bad
thing\textrademark.
