Yeah, I think this plan sounds fine. It would require making a import script, that imports as things build in epel, but that should be do-able.

I started to rsync/pull epel7/8 pkgs for x86_64,aarch64,ppc64le on a temporary place and we can start testing importing pkgs.
*but* it's where it needs probably a little bit of clarification : while initial request was to just have access to EPEL pkgs to satisfy Requires: and/or BuildRequires: I'm wondering about a redistribution policy (if any) for pkgs built on fedora infra and that SIGs would be able to just redistribute if they tag such pkg in their own tag (mostly for -{testing,release}).
Each pkg tag for -release would go out on mirror CDN, but signed with SIG gpg key
Is that the workflow that people wanted to see ? It's true that it would be easy to consume, and even cherry-pick which ENVR of a pkg to have in a repo (so not be forced to upgrade to a newer epel pkg).
If so, can we have +1 from Fedora infra/Fesco about just importing epel pkgs in our koji (to not have to rebuild everything) and so also ship pkgs out (but signed again with SIG gpg pub key for repoclosure in their own repo)
Searching for feedback to make progress on this request and not let it fall in a hole like last time :)
