I would like to contribute a library. How does one do this? (I've done quite a bit of searching, but couldn't find any way to do this).

" couldn't find any way to do this"
Let see... A logical starting point might be to take a look at the Libraries page.
I see a Contributions header, and a sentence " Instructions for creating your own library are on the Processing Google Code site."
Looks promising...

OK. I'm beginning to understand how this works. I need to find a website where I can post my library, and I then submit a link that tells people how to get to my library. This is all well and fine, except that I do not have a website where I can post my library. Unless Processing.org is incredibly short of disk space, it might make sense to host everything together. This would also avoid problems that arise when an ephemeral website disappears.

Ah, so the problem isn't to write the library but to host it?

Hosting on Processing.org would make hard for people to update their library, their pages, and they might not want to give up their control on such things. Beside, it would be quite some work for the maintainers of Processing.org which have something else to do...

You can just go to a free code site, like SourceForge, GitHub, Google Code, etc.
