Have you considered pushing your work to Salsa under the pkg-rpm-team
namespace?

I've packaged createrepo_c for $DAYJOB so we can keep updating the repos
for our CentOS system. It has some patches that may be useful to your
packaging as well.

The cmake license issues are not a showstopper in my opinion, and can be
relatively easily patched.

Kind Regards,

Bas
