[releng] Issue #7846: Please unblock epel7 branch of rpms/libssh (and Koji)

[Robert Scheck]

robert reported a new issue against the project: `releng` that you are following:
``
* Describe the issue

The package `libssh` got part of the `rhel-7-{server,workstation}-extras-rpms` repo,
however only for the x86_64 architecture, but not for aarch64, ppc64 and ppc64le. Thus it
is currently not possible to build e.g. `tmate` for EPEL 7 on all architectures.

As per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL:Packaging#Limited_Arch_Packages, I would like
to import the current RHEL source RPM into EPEL 7 with lower ENVRA, but the `epel7` branch
of `libssh` is blocked in Git (and likely also in Koji).

```
 ! [remote rejected] epel7 -> epel7 (hook declined)
```

* When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)

As soon as possible, but not urgent.

* When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD)

n/a

* If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?

@robert This is a tricky situation since pkgdb is no more. The best way to resolve this
is, you can ask the current package maintainers to give you the permissions to maintain
the package for epel7 or ask them to unretire it for epel7 (which makes them to maintain
it).

Once its done, please come back here (or ask them to update/create a ticket to unblock it
in koji if they would like to maintain it) and we will unblock it in koji.

Sorry for this situation as there is no easy way to solve this.

Filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1637165, let's see what happens.
Just to have it mentioned: Having no more pkgdb is clearly a regression in cases like
this.

@mohanboddu, meanwhile I've permissions to maintain the package for EPEL 7 (and a
second package which relies on `libssh` aside of `tmate` as well)

Thus, can you please unblock `libssh` in Koji?

Unfortunately, that doesn't allow committing to epel7 branch of `libssh`, even I have
commit access there.

According to @kevin's analysis on the IRC the PDC (Product Definition Center) needs to
be updated as well.
