Now, I decided to contribute further by building the package for

will be successful (specially if some of the packages set as 'Requires' are
not available in the repos.... oops!)
Yes, you need to check that packages are installable. At least, you can run
`mock -r chroot_name_here --postinstall --source . --spec lutris.spec` or
`fedpkg mockbuild --postinstall` to build the package in a mock chroot and
ensures that it's actually installable.
Python38-devel installs fine, but 3 subpackages keep failing, mainly
python3.8(evdev), python3.8(pygobject) and python3.8(distro).
Yes, those packages are probably not available for python38. If you want to
support lutris on EPEL 8, you'd have to package up the dependencies. However,
I'd recommend targeting python39 instead of python38. If you're interested in
doing that, I'd be happy to provide some more pointers.
