What if I give you the permissions to maintain it in the epel9? Would that work for you?

By the way, I see that some of its testing dependencies are not available in epel9 - namely zope-event and zope-testing but I haven't checked them all.

That would work.  FAS orion.  Yeah, there probably is a large dep chain.  If you are admin on those I can take them on as well.  Thanks.

So, the list of the runtime dependencies is short:

libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)(64bit)
python(abi) = 3.10
python3.10dist(setuptools)
rtld(GNU_HASH)

but the list of the  build-time dependencies is not:

gcc
make
python3-devel
python3-docs
python3dist(coverage) >= 5.0.3
python3dist(packaging)
python3dist(pip) >= 19
python3dist(repoze-sphinx-autointerface)
python3dist(setuptools)
python3dist(setuptools) >= 40.8
python3dist(sphinx)
python3dist(tox-current-env) >= 0.0.6
python3dist(wheel)
python3dist(zope-event)
python3dist(zope-testing)

If you disable test and docs build, it should be possible to build it in epel9 as is. I've requested epel9 branch https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/40583 and gave you the permissions for the epel* branches.

Thank you.
