Not knowing anything about PlatformIO, could you give some explanation of what your package does. Of particular interest w.r.t integration into NonGNU ELPA is a clarification about what the package may download from remote servers, if any, and what external tools it requires, if any. The descriptions I find at https://platformio.org/ use words like "place" and "platform" which makes it sound like it might depend on a centralized server (which all too often force the use of proprietary Javascript code), other places suggest that binary tools might be downloaded from somewhere, again raising questions w.r.t Free Software ideals.
