If you think the code is matured enough to be used publicly,
I'll include it in m17n-contrib. As far as I see the
current code in the github, the format has no problem except
for this line:
(input-method bn disha (version "1.0.0"))
VERSION is not the version number of the input method, but...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSION specifies the required minimum version number of the m17n
library. The format is "XX.YY.ZZ" where XX is a major version
number, YY is a minor version number, and ZZ is a patch level.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Your code is using AltGr key events which is introduced in
ver.1.6.2 of m17n-lib two years ago. So, if you want to
specify VERSION, it should be "(version "1.6.2")".
And, it may be better to refer to the project page in "description".

As far as your code works with m17n-edit, yous code has no
problem. I think the culprit is such IM-engines as ibus or
scim, or the interface between those applications and the
IM-engines. Please describe the detail testcase to
reproduce the problme in that page. It should include which
application (with version) is used on which OS, which
IM-engine is used, what key sequence you type, what should
be the correct result, what is the actual result.
