You don't have to. What you may do is to help other users (and in the long 
run yourself).

What really makes up the core functionality (feature and quality-wise) 
will differ depending on who you ask. If you think that your stuff belongs 
there: polish and/or publish it for others to see and have it compete. 
That's the nature of an Open Source project.

Talking about forking for a work like yours is premature. Host it 
somewhere under a license that you see fit. Whether you sign the CLA is 
your choice. See how it goes, see what interest is there and see whether 
there is any conflict with the 'core' that actually requires forking. I 
doubt the latter.
