[CentOS-devel] RFC (Request for Comments) : future of https://feeds.centos.org

The current situation wrt https://feeds.centos.org is that it was 
started as a quick/easy way to generate .xml files for RSS feeds, for 
people willing to just subscribe to some feeds to know when some 
packages land for Stream 8 and 9 (no mail is sent to centos-announce 
list for these)

It's relying on the `repo-rss` script, from yum-utils, on CentOS 7.
But it seems that such tool doesn't exist anymore in dnf-plugins-core 
(providing yum-utils) and so is absent in CentOS Stream 8 and Stream 9.

So the question : should we just stop that service when CentOS Linux 7 
will be EOL in June 2024 ? Or are there volunteers to port that 
tool/script upstream to python3 and have it included in a 
dnf-plugins-core (or a parallel package in Epel 9) ?
