Thanks for announcing this :).

The spec generator (rust2rpm) has also been split off from
rust-packaging into a separate package, which will *not* be available
on EPEL 9. rust2rpm requires Python >= 3.10, but it also has a few
non-trivial third-party dependencies (most notably, jinja2). Since
most Rust packagers primarily work on Fedora, I don't think the effort
of packaging all missing dependencies for Python 3.11 just to make
/usr/bin/rust2rpm available for EPEL 9 would be worth it.
Indeed. It's definitely possible to branch the 4 missing dependencies
for python3.11, but the volunteers involved feel there's better places
to direct our time.
I think the intention was to push this to epel9-next first, but then I
accidentally opened the last two PRs against epel9 instead of
epel9-next. FTR, python3.11 won't be available until ~May when 9.2 comes
out, so we can't yet built this in epel9 proper. Can you confirm that
you'd like this in epel9-next? I think giving this some time to incubate
in epel9-next definitely makes sense.
