Good Alaskan Morning!

I'm getting a centos box to care and feed for as part of my day job, so I have a legit reason to spend 'quality' work time maintaining EPEL variants of some of the Fedora packages I use and maintain currently.

Anything specific I should read up on with regard to EPEL before I dig in?
Beyond the links at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL?

I'm specifically looking for information on not screwing up EPEL branch initialization, cvs and plague usage.
