What about third-party repositories like rpmfusion? AFAICT, rpmfusion decided
to use Plague. And looking at the current design of the 2 tools, Plague looks
much more appropriate for a third-party repository to me, compared to Koji
which wants to "own" the entire distribution, requiring to import all the base
Fedora packages. Of course, the work to make Koji suitable for EPEL may well
make this a non-issue, but right now it is something to consider.
The method by which Koji is made usable for EPEL may also make it
useable by rpmfusion et al. Removing the need to "own" every package.
If/when that comes, rpmfusion can make the decision to base their
buildsystem off of software that has an active upstream and rather
important downstream (Red Hat) or something which has no upstream, and
not much downstream. Or rpmfusion folks can take over as upstream for
plague and maintain it.
