Comment (by pingou):

 * Added the cron job creating the JSON structure from the yum metadata
 * Adjusted pkgdb-admin to check if the package is in RHEL upon EPEL branch
 requests:
 {{{
 $ python pkgdb2client/admin.py --test process 16
 Testing environment
 #16 (Awaiting Review) - pingou requested a new branch "epel7" for "kernel"
  ! `kernel` is present in RHEL 7 with version: 3.10.0 on arch: ppc64,
 noarch, x86_64
 What should we do about this requests?
 approve, deny, pass:
 }}}

 So code wise we are almost there, the only thing which I just discovered
 to be missing is: there is no feedback mechanism.

 There is no way for rel-engs to explain why they denied the package/branch
 creation (user not packager, package in RHEL...).
 One option would be to use the review in bugzilla for this.

 Thoughts?
