does
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:How_to_contribute_to_Factory
therein in particular the section
"How to add a new package to Factory"
help you?

If not feel free to ask me.
I am not an openSUSE Build Service expert
but I will try to help you as good as I can.

Basically:
To get a new package included into official openSUSE
it means to get it added to the openSUSE Factory project.
The openSUSE Factory project is THE (basically only) place
wherefrom all SUSE and openSUSE distributions get derived.
You can think of Factory as what "master" is on GitHub.
For example openSUSE Tumbleweed is directly from Factory
(basically Tumbleweed is Factory plus mostly automated tests)
while openSUSE Leap 15 is from SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 (SLE-15)
plus additional or newer packages from Factory where SLE-15
had been derived/split from Factory at a former point in time.
