Hi!
I'm a co-maintainer for python-pyudev. I requested a branch for EPEL 7 via the fedpkg web interface.
Now, I can look at the status of the request I made, which is pending.
I can click on a link to a separate page for this request, which tells me the following:
""" Update request: 5211
As current admin of the package you have the possibility for 7 days to block a branch request for EPEL branches.
During the 7 days following the request, you can 'Block' the new branch process by setting the request to Blocked or 'Approve' it by setting it to Awaiting Review to inform admins that they can now review this request. User: mulhern Package: python-pyudev Action: request.branch To branch: epel7 Action status* """
But the only available Action status options in the list box are "Pending" and "Obsolete"k I would like to choose "Approve".
What should I do now?

It's waiting for the approval of one of the package administrators. You may want to ping them.

Hi,
python-pyudev is already shipped in RHEL-7, so I am afraid that creating EPEL-7 branch is against EPEL policy [1]:
Thus packages from EPEL should never replace packages from the target base distribution
thanks & regards

The version for python3 is not already shipped in RHEL-7. Therefore, there is no conflict if I release that only in EPEL, as is my intention.
It seems to be quite common for the python3 version to be shipped in EPEL when the python2 version is shipped in RHEL-7, for _many_ packages.

Yes, but you'll need to submit a new python3-pyudev package for that. You cannot use the python-pyudev source package for that purpose.
But, AFAIU, I am one of the package administrators? I mean, that's why I can reach the page that tells me "As current admin of the package"...
I'm not an administrator!!! There's a bit of a bug in the web interface. I'll go ahead and report it.
