I think the best thing to do for a start would be to create a Python
plugin for QGIS that will use the Processing framework. Then you could
upload the plugin to the repository [1], so the potential users will
be able to seamlessly download and install it.

If there would be a lot of interest from users to have the clustering
functionality available in default installation of QGIS, we could
discuss the inclusion of the code into QGIS codebase.
