I don't think a package-review is needed? It would just be unretiring the fedora branches of an existing package?
Technically, the package is "retired for 8+ weeks" on Fedora. Hence a new review request.
That said, I am -1 on the idea. You have no idea how many people try to install epel packages on fedora. We had to explicitly add a Conflicts to try and reduce this, and that was with them in another repo entirely! I fear if we do this more people will start installing stuff from epel on fedora and cause a lot of breakage.
I understand the concern, but am not considering it a blocker for this, especially since people will find a way to download the epel packages anyway. This does not allow `dnf install epel-release` on Fedora neither are the repos enabled. The amount of work to actually use this package to install epel packages on Fedora is more or less the same as downloading the packages from Koji or EPEL mirrors.
Whats your goal here? To have them easily available to query from fedora installs?
Yes.
