I certainly applaud your effort to improve the user experience of Linux in general and Ubuntu specifically. Knowing very little about Nimbus it sounds like a couple of things needs to happen.
1) The Nimbus engine needs and may already have a development group. If the desire is to expose this to Ubuntu/Debian I would suggest a Launchpad presence.
2) If your desire is to see GTK themes created using the Nimbus engine, documentation is a good start and an existing theme to serve as an example.
3) Get involved with the Ubuntu Artwork team. There is a Ubuntu package titled "community-themes" which can serve as a vehicle into the distribution.
Maverick is all but done but the window for Natty is wide open.
