Please branch and build python-cryptography in epel9. If you do not wish to maintain python-cryptography in epel9, or do not think you will be able to do this in a timely manner, the EPEL Packagers SIG would be happy to be a co-maintainer of the package; please add the epel-packagers-sig group through https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-cryptography/addgroup and grant it commit access, or collaborator access on epel* branches. I would also be happy to be a co-maintainer (FAS: jonathanspw). I can be the primary contact for EPEL (FAS: jonathanspw).
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 38 development cycle. Changing version to 38.
python-cryptography package is present in c9s and RHEL 9 BaseOS. EPEL can only provides extra packages, which are not already in RHEL. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/#what_is_extra_packages_for_enterprise_linux_or_epel > EPEL packages are usually based on their Fedora counterparts and will never conflict with or replace packages in the base Enterprise Linux distributions.
