According to those guidelines, they can't be packaged outside the main
kernel package. But, they can still be included in the main kernel
packaging. So, I guess I'm trying to reach out to whoever's involved
in packaging that.
You can try contacting the Kernel Team, but the upstream maintainer
doesn't seem to be actively pushing for merging this into Linus' tree,
so it's hard to make a case for it in its current status [1]. RPM
Fusion and Copr are better targets for this.
