You can make a Git pull request to 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lirc-remotes/ , but, frankly, I doubt 
that it is a good idea, there are already unprocessed ones more than a 
year old ;-/

http://irdb.globalcache.com/ knows a settop box from manufacturer 
"Spectrum" called "201-H Cable Receiver" so I guess that your name is 
not completely off.

I run your file through IrScrutinizer, and it did not decode. I 
downloaded the data from GlobalCache as above, (which did decode as 
Panasonic_Old, with modulation frequency of 58kHz). Turned out that your 
codes are identical (up to measurement errors) to theirs! So it is quite 
possible that it should be 58kHz instead of the 38kHz implied by no 
FREQUENCY in the Lirc file.

Possibly less reliably than with correct frequency.
