I was not sure about the guidelines about EPEL 8 and other streams but as far as I see, we should be able to provide sofhtsm in epel8 as long as the package is not provided in the default stream (AFAIK it is only in IDM stream):

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies#Policy

paul@thinkpad:~/fedora/softhsm (rawhide=)$ fedpkg request-branch epel8
Could not execute request_branch: This package is already an EL package and is built on all supported arches, therefore, it cannot be in EPEL. If this is a mistake or you have an exception, please contact the Release Engineering team.

Thanks, I've asked on #epel and it sounds like this warrants an exception, so I've filed https://pagure.io/releng/issue/10074 with releng.

The releng ticket has been resolved and the epel8 branch has been created, so we should be able to move forward here.

This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.
