RetroPie is not really a distro, so I wouldn't call it that way. If you're just forking the main project, with the intention of providing a different configuration, then make it an independent project and mention that it's just a RetroPie 'spin'/derivative work.
Contributions to the project are always appreciated, so if you would like to support us with a donation you can do so here.
