It is a fairly manual process where a person volunteers to sit in

Where is that checklist? I found
https://docs.pagure.org/releng/sop_process_dist_git_requests.html, but it
refers to a tool which is deprecated in favor of another one, at
https://pagure.io/fedscm-admin/, but none of those places have a clear
articulation of the policy items.
I get human sanity check of new package requests is good, although really
ideally I would hope that wouldn't fall to the rel-eng/scm firehose
volunteers.
But it seems like "request an EPEL branch" should generally be either
"Okay!
Doing that automatically now" or "Oh, this is in EL, sorry"*. What are the
other cases?
* I'm very sad that this isn't "So, would you like to do it anyway, and then
make a module?", but c'est la vie
