Adding the i3 SIG to the loop, maybe is something achievable by us.

Interesting what you say about the perl modules because
perl-common-sense, perl-JSON-XS and perl-Types-Serialiser are available
in the EL-8 Code Ready Builder / PowerTools repo, which is a dependency
of EPEL-8:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_use_these_extra_packages.3F
Is that repo not enabled in your EPEL-8 configuration?
Paul.
