Sure. I've prepared a pull request for ImageMagick itself:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ImageMagick/pull-request/10
And I'm preparing a COPR to rebuild the reverse dependencies and work
through the breakages (if any):
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ngompa/ImageMagick7-dev/
I already state why I against this approach , don't forget, before
merge this PR, you need do the compat-ImageMagick6912 or something,
like [1]
And this will delay a lot adding ImageMagick7 to epel9 and epel8
Best regards,
