So far, this is just pie-in-the-sky for me... my objectives are to get some homebrew 8-bit collections together for RPM packaging for wider distribution.  It would be BEST if the source package(s) could be rpmbuild'ed against cc65 as a compiler dependency.  Thus, a high comfort level in package acceptance and more exposure for everyone involved.

Would you mind then if I attempted to get sponsorship at RPM Fusion?  If that is amenable, would I be correct that this would go into their non-free repository?
