I'm not "authoritative" to answer that question, but why not simply just
build your -release package in your tag, and let it go to mirror in that
repository ? people using RHEL (or a rebuild) can just get it from
there, the same way that people using RHEL are consuming EPEL : point
to a mirror for the -release package and that's it ?
(https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/#_el9)
Just my two cents :)
