Why not? Git allows branching for everything.

Maybe you have followed a bit of what I did with xhash.spad.pamphlet. It
lived in a separate branch which I always rebased on top of master. I
changed intermediate commits squashed some together, reordered them etc.
It would probably have been a nightmare to work together with me on
this. But as long as nobody shows interest, I don't consider rebasing a
bad thing. This makes code available to more eyes. So, in fact, I'm
already happy that you show files via github.

src/algebra/va.spad.pamphlet

You don't necessarily need to hook it into the buildsystem. But it would
be nice if there were some patches to something like
src/algebra/Makefile-va so that it's clear how to compile (possibly
multible files).

I've still not removed my old xhash branch from github. Maybe you look at

https://github.com/hemmecke/fricas/blob/xhash/src/test/Makefile.compile
(or, in fact, into the whole testing framework).

Yes, yes, you can propose to suggest this. But I'd have to figure out in
which order I have to compile multiple files then.

Currently not too hard to achieve, I think.
