My understanding is that such EPEL8 packages are build outside of
texlive-base-%VERSION.src.rpm or texlive-%VERSION.src.rpm source
packages, for EPEL8 its an texlive-extension package. Than Ngo has
build the initial EPEL8 src.rpm package [1]. Maybe this is less a
nightmare.
Fedora:
rpm -q --qf '%{NAME}|%{SOURCERPM}|%{VENDOR}\n' texlive-lacheck
texlive-ucharcat
texlive-lacheck|texlive-base-20190410-8.fc31.src.rpm|Fedora Project
texlive-ucharcat|texlive-2019-19.fc31.src.rpm|Fedora Project
RHEL8
rpm -q --qf '%{NAME}|%{SOURCERPM}|%{VENDOR}\n' texlive-lacheck
texlive-lacheck|texlive-extension-20180414-2.el8.src.rpm|Fedora Project

Thank you Than.
You are the slayer of my nightmares. :)
As it says in that bugzilla.
"there's texlive-extension component in bugzilla, if you want to make
requests like above, please open the bug in texlive-extension and add
your requests there."
And thank you Leon for pointing that out. I won't be so scared of
questions like these anymore. :)
