I am making my own, although I wouldn't be opposed to getting an FRC vendor to make them. I also received a PM about this, so I'll go into detail about how I'm fine for this.
Relevant image:
A: should be covered under Ebay. I know many teams buy from Ebay and AliExpress each year, and a mentor for 115 sold breakouts through Ebay a couple years back as well.
B: I'm independent of 115 now, as I graduated last year.
C: Given the low quantity of orders I get, I'll have a stockpile of these proportional to the number of teams that want them before January. "Higher-than-normal" order rates are basically more than 10 for me.
D: I can maintain stock (10+) very easily. I'll also have access to a PCB CNC soon, so even if I run behind it should be easy to get parts to teams in under a week. Right now, it takes around 10 days to get the PCBs because I'm ordering from OSHPark.
E. I'm posting it here, aren't I?

Sure. I'll need to see if the magnet can be shipped across international lines, and if they can I'd be more than happy to get you a few.
I forgot to mention that I'll have the design files up eventually too.
