It certainly is the sort of thing that can be generally useful even if 
no one has a specific need for it now. I'd suggest managing it on one of 
the big open source project websites so other can see it and use it 
should you ever abandon the project years from now.

My projects are all on sourceforge. There are those that (probably 
justifiably) would rather host on a other sites (like gna.org) which is 
also fine. It is nice however to pick someplace that will outlive  you 
and has an abandon project takeover capability.

Also consider your goals for licensing when you release the project but 
do pick a license.
