I am not sure I understand the request.  This bug is for wxpython4 in EPEL8 which is not ready yet.  That Bodhi update is for F31.  However, even when wxpython4 is ready, I don't see why GRASS would need to be rebuilt, and I don't have permissions to do that anyway.

ok, sorry for the confusion. I thought that once the package is ready other packages depending on it could be triggered for rebuild. I'll try to figure it out once wxpython4 is available.
Thanks again for your efforts to bring wxpython4 into EPEL.

Why would anything need to be rebuilt once wxpython is added, though?

I tried to address this problem:
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2019-October/080940.html
"ERROR: wxGUI requires wxPython. No module named 'wx'"

hence:
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2019-October/080945.html

and believe that I have to recompile the GRASS GIS package for EPEL (yet on COPR, I hope to see it here as well in future).

I tried to rebuild python-wxpython4-4.0.7-4.el7.src.rpm on Centos 8 but I didn't succeed due to missing SIP.

This is the missing piece to also make the GUI of GRASS GIS available on Centos 8
(https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1504605 now compiles fine also on Centos 7).

Any pointers what to do for Centos 8? Thanks.

Yes, that is the problem.  We're still blocked waiting on sip, which is part of RHEL.  See the linked bug report.  Unfortunately, I'm stuck waiting on action from Red Hat.

I see - anything I can do here?

I'm afraid not, unless you know someone in Red Hat.

Created attachment 1693899 [details]
sip.spec

sip.spec updated to EPEL8

Attached sip.spec now compiles also on EPEL8 (here: Centos 8).

With that I was able to compile python-wxpython4.spec.

Only dirty local hack was
sudo ln -s /usr/include/python3.6/sip.h /usr/include/sip.h

which needs to be addressed somewhere in the SPEC file.

After installation of the binary RPMs, I can successfully run the GUI of GRASS GIS also on Centos 8.

The updated SIP that I need has shown up in CentOS Stream, but I think it probably won't be in CentOS proper until 8.3 comes out.
