corebootPkg is very likely a different project from yours. There are 
several
attempts to make Tianocore into a payload.

The thing is, if you want to make it easier on MinnowMax users, you (or 
anyone else) could open
an account on github, fork the Tianocore repository there 
(https://github.com/tianocore/edk2)
and integrate the stuff from firmware.intel.com/develop.

After that, users of that payload version can just pull the entire code 
with a single
git clone, too. And participate in the development through github's pull 
request feature
and issue tracker.
(Of course, if you want to do this, all this may require some sign-off 
by your team)

But since that's possible (and really easy, too), there's no need to 
burden coreboot.org with more binaries.

We compromise here and there, but that's not some thing we want to 
encourage - it is really just a compromise, and it's risky to try to 
push its boundaries.
