So this is because https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/api/collections/ does not have these branches listed. Given pkgdb is deprecated -- should mdapi get the list of active releases from another source? What should that be?

That file is manually maintained by the infra team via ansible. You can open a
PR to the ansible repo to update it, it will then be pushed to the proxies and
picked up by mdapi :)

ok, so we updated and it handled epel9 fine.

But... it does not handle the '-next' versions:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/code/mdapi-get_repo_md", line 555, in <module>
     main()
   File "/code/mdapi-get_repo_md", line 511, in main
     for idx, url in enumerate(urls[release['name']]):
 KeyError: 'Fedora EPEL Next'

So, we need to fix that and then we can re-add it back in...
