This /is/ an important question which every author should pose to himself.
If the author has no answer it might be better not to submit.
If he has an answer he can give it to the editors too; even better he could
make it clear to every potential reader by explaining the significance right
in the comments or by the formulas or by the references.

as an author? Just dumping some integers to a database is not what you want.

As an author you want to be read, right? And you are interested to see
comments and formulas to be added. So you have to advertise your sequences.
For instance you could write an article for the journal of integer sequences;
or perhaps just start writing about them on a blog and link to it.

Or even to be bold like this guy and use twitter to inform your friends:
