I have opened 2 tickets in RELENG to have these packages

Packages which are older in EPEL than RHEL-7.4 but exist in aarch64,
x86_64, ppc64, and ppc64le
https://pagure.io/releng/issue/6950
The remaining packages which are not in all architectures BUT are very
old (and may break other things). These need some sort of
update/rebuild I expect.
I took a look at the three I am maintainer of:
perl-Crypt-PasswdMD5
This package is unchanged from the EPEL package, just rebuilt (apart
from the EPEL package having a "0." release prefix to indicate that it's
one of the limited arch packages). I don't really think anything needs
to be done with this.
python-crypto
This is basically a clone of the existing EPEL package, with
conditionals added around the python3 package so it doesn't get built
for RHEL, which doesn't have python3.x. Updating this to match the RHEL
package would result in dropping the python3 support, so I think this
should be left alone too.
python-paramiko
This one has had a version bump to a major new version that uses a
different crypto backend (python-cryptography rather than
python-crypto). This one should be cloned into the epel7 branch, a "0."
prepended to Release: and the python3 package enabled I think.
