Sorry for "spamming", it's been a week and I would appreciate an answer
even if it's just a "we're looking at it and it'll come eventually".

The files do exist somewhere (I would assume on koji[1]? hard to check
with files being forbidden for download, and nothing on buildlog[2] or
old open koji[3] -- it looks like core centos8 and SIGs get differential
treatment?), so it's probably just a matter of moving some data... I can
understand doing it right™ takes some time but please say so! :)

My (admitedly not very clear) offer to help for technical tasks also
still stand, nothing on the contribute[4] page is much technical except
for points which do not seem to apply to centos8 (#2 testing refers to
buildlog for example...)
