* ...the Shiny New Stuff does not appear to be available on EPEL *at

it may be impractical/impossible to backport everything to EPEL 7, and
am getting close to the point where I throw in the towel and drop
Python 2 support from my projects' master branches and hang the EPEL 7
package repos out on a branch, but EPEL 8 would be nice and ought to be
possible?
This stands in a way of having this in EPEL 8, AFAIK:
- no automatic RPM buildrequires
- ancient pip (PEP 517 support was added in 19.0, we have 9.0.3)
- ancient setuptools (40.8 is needed, we have 39.2.0)
- no tox (but it's being packaged for EPEL8 as we speak)
Yeep! I didn't realize we had such ancient bits in 8...
Dynamic BuildRequires is unlikely to make it to RHEL 8, but all the
others are achievable if the requests are made, right?
How?
