Maybe for the Legions (similar to the cybernetic corp the Word Bearers had in First Heretic). For a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter? I don't think it'd fly.
The Chapters are incredibly insular. Being part of the Chapter is a unique honor and even bond that the Astartes share. An outsider...even one that had distinguished him or herself on the field of battle could never become a member.
A highly valuable serf, perhaps. Never elevated to the ranks (even informally).

This feels more like a fanfic than canon. At least to me.Well i did read about a guy who even though was guardsman and was too old to get proper augmentations to become a full space marine was given a honor to work with a scout squad as on equal terms as other neophytes
