Yeah, I think you're absolutely right. There is no one specific pattern or rule you can follow which guarantees upstream acceptance; you just have to try your best.
Hopefully this will be something that they will do. I was a little disappointed, for example, to see the Ubuntu Netbook Remix front-end not happen in the GNOME space, even though it's very similar to a number of other apps which people have already written: it would be cool to see the effort to "upstream" stuff extended there, as well.
