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.
