follow the instructions at

   https://github.com/Bioconductor/Contributions

when the issue is opened, someone (usually within 24 hours) moderates 
your package so that the package is built and checked, and a reviewer 
assigned. The reviewer will tackle your package without further 
intervention from you and in due course, although many contributors end 
up making substantial changes in response to the package builds before 
the reviewer provides feedback.

maybe, but if you have concerns then ask here first. No need to be 
secretive about things, so don't hesitate to mention your package github 
location (even before submission) and be specific and simple about your 
question.

Simply add a field biocViews: to the DESCRIPTION file, with terms chosen 
from those available in the navigation widget at

   http://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/BiocViews.html#___Software

See for example the terms in
