It'd also be helpful if anybody can provide any information on who I need to ping to get a decision on that matter. Thanks!

I'm not "authoritative" to answer that question, but why not simply just build your -release package in your tag, and let it go to mirror in that repository ? people using RHEL (or a rebuild) can just get it from there, the same way that people using RHEL are consuming EPEL : point to a mirror for the -release package and that's it ? (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/#_el9)
Just my two cents :)
In case there is never an answer by anyone who is "authoritative", that is a viable alternative. However I think the approach I suggested has several advantages for users, hence I'd like to further pursue it.
