Can you tell us more about the instances of ELN Extras helping
identify build problems for EPEL 10?  Examples of those could help
packagers avoid the same mistakes and demonstrate the value of taking
the time to set up their own workloads.

I have a high level understanding of ELN Extras and the benefits of
ensuring a spec file's conditionals stay compatible with the new
macros as they're introduced in ELN.  I would like to know more about
what a failure looks like for an ELN Extras workload.  I've configured
one workload myself, but I've never received an email or notification
about it failing.  Maybe I'm just lucky and the packages in that
workload had no issues, but if they did, how would that be presented
to me?

What is the ELN SIGs viewpoint on package permissions?  Can EPEL
maintainers add workloads that include packages they don't have
permission to commit to or request branches for?  This is a regular
issue for new EPEL major versions, where a maintainer doesn't have
access to request new EPEL branches for all their dependencies.
