He may accept a PR with Travis configuration to build the wheels though ...
Using that manylinux docker image should be easy enough on Travis.​

​On the other hand, there might be weird dependencies and the wheel don't
build well on the manylinux container - so there's still some extra effort​
for the maintainer.

A simpler package would probably make a better discussion.

PS. To  build all the manylinux wheels for a package you only need to run
something like:
docker run -itv $(pwd):/code quay.io/pypa/manylinux1_x86_64 bash -c 'set
-eux; cd code; rm -rf wheelhouse; for variant in /opt/python/*; do rm -rf
dist build *.egg-info && $variant/bin/python setup.py clean --all
bdist_wheel; auditwheel repair dist/*.whl; done; rm -rf dist build
*.egg-info'

​
