As others have said, it's not a very open source thing to do.  I would
recommend just putting up a polite notice on your page and in the
comments at the top of your code requesting patches to be submitted if
modifications are made that could be of use to the community.  Most
people using open source code will be quite happy to do that
voluntarily, in my experience.
