hi,
It has now been several months since the release of RHEL 8 and I am still struggling to get a RHEL 8 into an usable state. Besides the already mentioned absence of fail2ban and nagios plugins I am now facing the lack of perl-LDAP.
In RHEL 7 perl-LDAP was part of the base repo, in RHEL 8 it is completely missing. According to the epel 8 announcement mail I am supposed to contact the package maintainer, but from what I have found that package is always just owned by the project in Fedora/Centos.
What is required to get that package into epel? I feel like it is fairly important for anyone trying to access LDAP through perl.
thank you

File the request in the Bugzilla against "perl-LDAP" component in "Fedora EPEL" product in "Fedora" classification. If the component does not exist there, use a component in "Fedora" product.

Owner means the primary maintainer who can administer the package. Admin means another maintainer. Commit means a person who can change the package source but who cannot administer the package like adding access to other people.
Yes, I'm one of the maintainer of the package.
Do you need to explain something else?

I am confused because I misread what was being said. I thought you were having the person file against the base component 'Fedora' in bugzilla versus perl-LDAP. My apologies.
