Technically, the package is "retired for 8+ weeks" on Fedora. Hence a new review request. That said, I am -1 on the idea. You have no idea how many people try to install epel packages on fedora. We had to explicitly add a Conflicts to try and reduce this, and that was with them in another repo entirely! I fear if we do this more people will start installing stuff from epel on fedora and cause a lot of breakage. I understand the concern, but am not considering it a blocker for this, especially since people will find a way to download the epel packages anyway. This does not allow `dnf install epel-release` on Fedora neither are the repos enabled. The amount of work to actually use this package to install epel packages on Fedora is more or less the same as downloading the packages from Koji or EPEL mirrors. Whats your goal here? To have them easily available to query from fedora installs? Yes.

That is a known limitation, but I wouldn't say this makes it "not a good idea". Would you mind telling why so consider it bad? I like the repos packaged, so I don't have to explain to others how to get them. This way, it's a magnitude easier. It solves a problem I have.

[EPEL-devel] EPEL repos packaged for Fedora (for repoquery)
To scratch my own itch I've packaged EPEL repos for Fedora. I've decided to use the existing epel-release component for this (but I am OK to get a different name, such as epel-repos). See https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/epel-release/pull-request/9 And https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1852583 Package review and any other feedback is appreciated. (Side note: I'm using the hyperkitty web interface to send this email, as I cannot connect to my email from Thunderbird, sorry if the email is somewhat weird.)
