The MinGW packages for EPEL 7 are in a very bad state. We haven't even started on
EPEL 8 yet.
Should we discontinue support for EPEL?
Does anyone have any use case for EPEL?
I'm going to retire my EPEL branches, but if anyone wants to take them over please
go ahead.
Thanks,
Michael

Yes, I'd say go ahead and retire them. We are having enough trouble with
keeping Fedora MinGW packages up to date and there's no need to
complicate it with yet another branch.

What would it take to keep it working? I know of several organizations
using it. I would wager that a lot of EPEL users aren't public, so tracking
user impact is difficult.

Someone who actually uses EPEL should maintain them.
