If someone were to maintain these, I doubt anyone would object to seeing them linked on php.net somewhere, with a suitable disclaimer that they weren't supported builds. Incidentally, I suggested something related for PHP 8 specifically, so that people could test the JIT (I talked about distributing pre-alpha milestone builds in general, rather than Docker in particular), but I'm not sure anyone got around to doing it.
