I cannot parse your sentence. Does it mean there is one database which
stores all the data about all repositories, or does it mean that each
repository has its own database?

Is this Pagure/dist-git database publically accessible for reading?

In modularity I want to deliver the EOL dates to user's YUM repositories so
that "dnf module list" can list them and alert users about EOLed module stream
they use (bug #2054662).

We already have a mechanism for delivering the data to the YUM repositories
<https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/modularity/building-modules/fedora/m...;.
But the mechanism relies on a manual input
<https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-module-defaults/blob/main/f/obsoletes>;. It's
manual because one of the purposes if the mechanism is delivering which stream
replaces which one. But the EOL dates could be filled automaticaly.

That's why I'm so obsessed with PDC.
