Mike,
rospy.signal_shutdown() is the recommended way to shutdown. See
http://www.ros.org/wiki/rospy/Overview/Initialization%20and%20Shutdown
If you have a patch for a program that you think might be useful to others,
the best thing to do is to open a ticket in the appropriate trac for the
repo in which the code lives. In this case wg-ros-pkg
https://code.ros.org/trac/wg-ros-pkg/newticket You can find what repository
a package is hosted in from it's wiki page.
