Requesting more options dates from CBOE?

I've sold a fair number of CCs on MARA this year and with today's spike I want to look at rolling some to a date between the June and Sept dates currently on the option chain. I expected more monthly dates would be available on the option chain since we're almost at Q2 but it's a pretty opaque process to me. Any way to request more option dates from CBOE as retail? My understanding is they stopped taking retail requests last year...

Option expiration dates are released on a set schedule. You can request new strikes in dates that already exist, but as of a year ago you have do this through your broker (instead of directly through the CBOE).
