Hi Thomas, I would argue that one dataset - even a new one - could be added to another package. The pizzapoll doesn't look like a scientific breakthrough, but it might be a nice dataset for teaching and/or testing new models. So I see value in making it available on CRAN one way or another. If you would consider adding your data to another package, there's a list of fairly recent packages on this link: https://rviews.rstudio.com/2017/11/01/r-data-packages/
I'd suggest putting the data on a public dataverse server like this one from some obscure institution called "Harvard": https://dataverse.harvard.edu/ and then it should be accessible via the database R package: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/dataverse/index.html with the added bonus that it gets a DOI, metadata, access from Python and any other language with a dataverse API interface. What don't you get? Visibility on CRAN - but its so crowded now that nobody can see you anyway. Barry
