Per discussions in the EPEL Steering Committee meeting: https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/teams/epel/epel.2020-09-18-21.00.log.html - timestamp 21:53:30
and on the mailing list https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/KICNW4ZY6QFUOC6G2ETKRJCE4QRCN4IH/
Can we have the following created?
Discussions will happen in epel-devel@ so we don't need a separate mailing list for it.
This will be a reboot of the old proposed epel-wranglers; no one is aware of any infra automation that has been done for epel-wranglers that we can reuse, so it's probably best to start from scratch (also SIGs currently has to follow the *-sig naming convention, as far as we know).

Here are the current groups for EPEL
epel-cabal EPEL tracking cla_done Approved epelproject EPEL SCM tracking cla_done Approved epel-releng EPEL Release Engineering Group shell None epel-wranglers EPEL Developers tracking cla_done Approved gitepel Git group for fedorahosted page git cla_done
I am not sure if any of them can be re-used. If not that is fine. The current mailing lists are:
epel-announce.lists.fedoraproject.org epel-devel.lists.fedoraproject.org epel-package-announce.lists.fedoraproject.org epel-users.lists.fedoraproject.org
EPEL users is closed for archive versions so I think a epel-packagers-sig should be made.
From what I hear, epel-cabal predates epel-wranglers and was meant to be a similar effort; not sure what epelproject and epel-releng are for (or gitepel).
Anything that (a) makes it easier for infra, and (b) is the least confusing for users and developers would be fine. Most newer SIGs do seem to have FAS groups ending in -sig.
I wonder if we can delete some of the older groups if unused, but that's a separate discussion.
Groups like users can't be deleted... so I can remove people from those groups etc
Looks like I created epel-cabal on 2019-08-23 15:47:42.250972+00:00 and I created epel-wranglers on 2014-09-19 21:13:04.837110+00:00
Once I figure out if I need this to be a tracking group or something else I will create epel-packagers-sig with the correct perms.
Metadata Update from @zlopez: - Issue priority set to: Waiting on Assignee (was: Needs Review) - Issue tagged with: medium-gain, medium-trouble, ops
We used to make the dist-git group be of the type "pkgdb" but pagure no longer enforces that, we try to stick with it for consistency but that's it. There is no technical blocker in re-using an existing group.
Group has been created.
List has been created. You have been made the owner/admin for both.,
Metadata Update from @smooge: - Issue close_status updated to: Fixed - Issue status updated to: Closed (was: Open)
Thanks! Will set them up once devconf is over
@kevin added it to src.fedoraproject.org and I've set up Bugzilla, so everything now works.
