Hello,
I'd recommend not to redistribute Bravura with your package, if it would be
unmodified (as it should be if the package is aimed towards XeLaTeX or
LuaTeX users because these engines have full Unicode support). And then
speak to CTAN about including the font separately. It will then be up to
TeX Live and MikTeX to package them as they please according to their own
procedures (and they certainly will for a SIL OFL font used in a LaTeX
package).
I wouldn't expect sources more primitive than the OTF binary to be
necessary anyway, but CTAN will let you know for sure.
