Your request came at a timely time. I was just starting to work on updating (making it more clear) how to request packages for EPEL. Although there is some brief instructions here[2], which I am going to expand, I realize I also need to put those instructions in the FAQ. In short, you need to open a bugzilla bug requesting the package be put in EPEL8. But do a quick search to see if already has been requested. The problem with sending an email here is that it's quite possible the Fedora maintainer isn't on this mailing list. Doing a quick search, it looks like someone must have been on the same project and/or saw this email,[3] because there is a bug opened today.
