Adding a new RPM to EPEL

[Digimer]

Hi all,

Pardon if this is the wrong place to ask, or if there is a FAQ for
this (I checked
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_contribute.3F).

I've created a new RPM for the perl module Log::Journald, which makes
writing to journald a lot easier and faster than using 'logger' at the
shell. I built in for our internal repo, but I did so using EPEL RPMs to
meet dependencies, so I would expect it should be compatible.

Is there any interest in adding this RPM to the repo? If so, what is
the process? I'm fairly new to packaging so I would want someone to
check the SRPM to make sure it's up to snuff.

Here's the SRPM, if you're curious;

https://www.alteeve.com/an-repo/el7/SRPMS/perl-Log-Journald-0.20-1.el7.src.r...

Cheers, and thanks for your collective work on EPEL either way.
Sorting out the dependencies and trying to "do it right" has given me a
new respect for the hard work needed to make something like EPEL hum so
smoothly. :)
