R help - Jan 2018 - flatpak installation package?

Is there any chance for a distribution independent flatpak installation package
for R ?

See: http://flatpak.org 

Background: I recently bought an Acer notebook with endless OS preinstalled
(see: http://endlessos.com).  It is Debian based, but uses only flatpak as
installation
package format.

Of course... R _is_ open source. However, it is unwise to assume that the
volunteers scratching itches for their preferred distros will take on additional
work... it is more likely that you will need to take on scratching that new
itch.

Hi Jeff,
> it is more likely that you will need to take on scratching that new itch.
thanks. Should I subscribe to the developer list and ask there?

I had a deep look into the Manual "R Installation and Administration",
but I
fear that this is too much unknown terrain for me. Let me recall the apparent
advantages of flatpak:

It is a distribution independent package format, where the applications run
in a kind of sandbox. Flatpak is supported by RedHat/Fedora/CentOS/Scientific 
Linux as well as Debian/Ubuntu, and Arch. So it might be worth a deeper look.
