Packaging for the CentOS Storage SIG does not take much time either. At
the moment I think only Kaleb and I have the permissions to do so. Still
waiting for other contributors to reply to Sankarshans email
https://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-infra/2019-March/005483.html
The other community packages that Kaleb singlehandedly builds takes
(much) more time. Contributors for those are very much wanted, I think.
I don't mind doing an early/extra CentOS Storage SIG build.
