Not fully sure I understand the results, but this looks promising.
Thanks for providing it!

One thing I caught on initial glance, I think it's getting confused on
multilib.  For example, from:
https://gitlab.com/omenos/crb-depends/-/blob/main/el9/FINAL_EPEL.json

   "gvfs.i686": [
        "lutris-0:0.5.10.1-1.el9.x86_64"
    ],

That seems to be highlighting that lutris.x86_64 depends on gvfs.i686.
I don't think that's actually the case, because gvfs.x86_64 is shipped
in AppStream and should satisfy the dependency for lutris.x86_64 in
EPEL.
