That's your best option so far, as there is *no* Cfgmgmt SIG (that
should be killed if there was really a process for that) as there is
nobody involved, no SIG chair, no pkg even built ... the only exception
is yum4/dnf (and to be honnest I don't even know why it landed there, as
to me it was a wrong target, but not my call)

The "Ansible" case is even more interesting, as when it landed in
Extras, there was no even need to have it rebuilt through CBS, but it
was removed again, so now it's in a strange situation where newer
versions aren't built, so yes, only option is to rebuild those in CBS in
your own target/tags and other people can then "tag-build" the same ENVR
if they want to also provide it through their SIG repositories
