[LE] Should i release this as a mod?

[wattbatt]

Introduction:

 

1)

One day i stumbled upon Chocolocco's " Katarina DC preset armour hairdo tatoo REDUX -UNPB-UUNP-questionmark" mod : https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/92157, and i was blown away by those screenshots.

The author says in description that he was looking for help to turn that into a follower, it's not a follower yet. In this mod's files there are only assets.

 

2)

Well, apparenty the same Chocolocco already made a Katarina follower mod before: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/87908, but he seems to be disappeared from this website, last work on mod 1) is from 3 years ago, i also sent a message to ask a couple things but he seems pretty gone

 

Anyway, i liked those screenshots so damn much that like some purple guy did I went in FINE, I'LL DO IT MYSELF mode,

and basically i took all the assets from mod 1) and mounted them on the mod 2): armor, face, hair, makeup, tatoos + eyes, body, body texture; in order to try to make the follower look as much as i could to the mod 1) screenshots.

 

Was a pain in the ass but i made it. Now my problem is, I never made a mod / released a mod before, is there any etiquette to follow here on nexus?

 

Like, should i wait the author's approval before i release it or i can upload it and put credits in description?

Do i have to submit this to someone for review? I did check for problems and should be fine.

Do i have to guarantee a period of support / attention to messages and stuff in case of errors?

 

Or nothing of this, i just go boom upload and done?

If you look at both of those mod's permissions, it says that they are open perms, so it's fine to upload. Author says no need to credit, but would be nice if you did.
