Please branch and build SLOF in epel8 and epel9. If you do not wish to maintain SLOF in epel8 and 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/SLOF/addgroup and grant it commit access, or collaborator access on epel* branches.
SLOF is already part of RHEL-8, so I believe that makes it ineligible for EPEL-8. EPEL-9 is probably ok though, since ppc64 virt stack was dropped in RHEL-9 (at least for now).
To my understanding, in RHEL 8 this is shipped in a non-default module stream, which should make it ok for EPEL per https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-policy/

SLOF RPMs are currently visible in 'AppStream' on ppc64 installs.
I'm rescoping this down to just epel9 in the interest of getting things moving again. AFAICT in c9s SLOF is marked as explicitly retired, so it should be eligible for epel9. Will you be able to branch and build SLOF in epel9? The EPEL Packagers SIG would be happy to be a co-maintainer if you do not wish to build it on epel9.
Done, see https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/SLOF/settings#usersgroups-tab
