You need to create a theme account at WordPress.org
http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/register.php
Check your email for the password. You can now login here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/
(It’s a small login form with a blue background)
Now go to the Upload Themes area which can be found here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/upload/
You’ll just need to make sure everything checks out against the WordPress standards and upload it as a Zip file.
Good luck!

I agree with previous poster. If you want to offer your theme on WordPress.org as a free theme, then you need to submit it to them. Read this post in their Codex. http://codex.wordpress.org/Designing_Themes_for_Public_Release
Contact WordPress first. The theme will have to be approved first by the Staff.
