Hi Casey, The original idea was to leave this to Reef alone, but given that the CentOS 9 Quincy release is also blocked by missing Python packages, I think that it'd make sense to backport it.
I'm coordinating with Pere (in CC) to expedite this. We may need help to troubleshoot Shaman/rpmbuild issues. Who would be the best one to help with that? Regarding your last question, I don't know who's the maintainer of those packages in EPEL. There's this BZ (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2166620) requesting that specific package, but that's only one out of the dozen of missing packages (plus transitive dependencies)...
