Thanks Scott! It's done - for EPEL10:

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2025-d433be7bff

For EPEL8/9 I have another problem. The ocaml-rpm-macros package - which is 
required to make the koji (and therefore bohdi) build work - isn't available in 
EPEL8 or EPEL9.

I'd like to ask for it to be branched and built. However, the ocaml-rpm-macros 
component doesn't show up in the component list on the bugtracker using either 
"Fedora EPEL" or "Fedora" products - so I can't follow the EPEL package request 
mechanism the URL above asks me to. And yet it's seemingly available in EPEL10, 
because the koji build succeeds. Is that because it's some sort of internal 
package related only to RPMs? How can I ask for it to be added to EPEL8/9?

Thanks,

John
