Well its not from CentOS so I doubt it would be.in their repos. The
package says its a Fedora package and from the GPG signature it is an
EPEL package.
The denyhosts-2.6-5.el5.src.rpm would be where the source code for the
package is.

The Key ID is what will distinguish which package is from what repository

119cc036217521f6 is EPEL
rpm -q gpg-pubkey --provides

gpg(Fedora EPEL <epel at fedoraproject.org>) = 4:119cc036217521f6-45e8a532
gpg(217521f6) = 4:119cc036217521f6-45e8a532
