Many packagers don't want their packages in EPEL at all but will do so if there are requests from someone or that there is going to be a branch packager for EPEL packages. Many EPEL branch packagers really only want to support one release because that is what they are using versus multiple ones.

Beyond just revisiting it, we need someone to step up to figure out
the implementation and policy work.  There was some discussion in the
EPEL Steering Committee meetings about doing it for EPEL 10 based on
ELN Extras workloads in Content Resolver, but that idea lost steam
around the time the branch requests became automated with a toddler.
Now for packages you're the maintainer of, getting the branch is one
additional command that results in the branch being ready within
minutes.  Is it even worth automating this further?  For packages
you're not a maintainer of, is it even appropriate for us to automate
the process and not rely on maintainer opt-in like we do now?
