I've updated my RPM building tools for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and Fedora 35
for those over at:

https://github.com/nkadel/ansiblerepo/ .

If you're an RPM user, I hope they're useful. I've had some difficulty
getting subscribed to the Fedora packagers setups to get them into
EPEL. I am a bit surprised that RHEL doesn't have them incorporated
directly, to avoid confusion with Ansible Tower setups and EPEL
published components.
