Unfortunately, the module api is not stable, and thus is not fit for
public distribution. There are no guarantees that a module for 6.0
will build with pa 7.0. Moreover, modules usually use internal
pulseaudio functions that are of course not stable. If upstream does
not install the headers I don't see why we should.

Your best option is to get the pulseaudio source and add your module as a patch.
