Well, they can work pretty quickly when the stars align.

I would argue that reviews aren't actually needed due to the exemption
about different versions of existing packages. I guess maybe that's
stretching it just slightly (since that's mainly about adding, say,
python-sqlalchemy1.1 without review instead of python3-sqlalchemy), but
I would be perfectly happy to click the necessary button there.
The only finesse involved is making sure that package gets blocked in
Fedora so that it only makes it into EPEL. That's no different from any
other EPEL-only package.

Which shouldn't be too hard if Martin is prepared to be the maintainer
of these things long term. There should be enough sponsors around
reading this that someone is willing to help out. Me included if Martin
is willing to hit me up on IRC.
