How are the videos licensed? As long as we can share them, they seem
appropriate for audio-video.gnu.org to me. You could create tasks for
the ones that need to be uploaded in the tracker at
<https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?group=audio-video>. I just sent out a
call to people who have told us that they want to help with audio-video,
asking them to help with the items in that tracker, so now would be a
good time to add things there. :)
