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!

Are you asking to create and ship this package in the RHEL repos directly?
No. I'm asking to be allowed to build a centos-release-extras package in to-be-created build targets (extras8-extras-common-el8 and extras9-extras-common-el9) on CBS. RHEL users would still be required to manually download this package similar to how they install EPEL.
OK, thank you for the clarification. That's what I had interpreted but there was some confusion on the request so it's good to have clarity.
