EPEL Issue #101 [1] has pointed out that our current policy for
stalled EPEL requests is fairly in-efficient and can cause some long
delays.
What do people think the process should be?
Here is an example:
* A packager opens a bugzilla requesting a package be added to EPEL.
They also express that they are willing to help maintain / co-maintain
that package in EPEL.
* A period of time goes by with no response
* They re-say that they are willing to maintain / co-maintain the
package in EPEL
* Another period of time goes by with no response
* They file a rel-eng ticket, that points to the bugzilla, requesting
appropriate privileges to be able to branch and build that package in
EPELX
* That happens.
* They then request branch, and build the package in EPELX following
normal ways.
This is just an example, but it's what I picture in my head.

There's a bug currently open requesting that "tinyfugue" be packaged for EPEL 8.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1762158
There hasn't been any response to the original requestor since it was opened in October. It'd be great if someone could help out.

Hi,
I want to move certbot from Python 2 -> Python 3 in EPEL 7. As you might
imagine this means getting Python3 packages of all required libraries. Most of
them are pretty straight forward (I hope) - just build the Python 3 version
also on EPEL 7.
However there is python-configobj which is provided by RHEL as a Python 2-only
version.
What is the best way to get a Python 3 version for EPEL 7?
- Maybe the Fedora maintainers of python-configobj change the spec file so on
EPEL 7 we only generate a Python 3 version?
- New package which is only used for EPEL 7?
I filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1813678 a while ago but
noticed that it was assigned to "orphan owner" so I guess nobody every looked
at it.
Felix
