To scratch my own itch I've packaged EPEL repos for Fedora. I've decided to use the existing epel-release component for this (but I am OK to get a different name, such as epel-repos).
See https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/epel-release/pull-request/9 And https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1852583
Package review and any other feedback is appreciated.
I don't think a package-review is needed? It would just be unretiring the fedora branches of an existing package?
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.
Whats your goal here? To have them easily available to query from fedora installs?

Seems fine to me.
