No one in the org uses RHEL*, and personally while I'm very good with Debian and Docker, my knowledge and ability to test RPM-based releases is nil. We had several people commit changes to the RPM spec over time, but whenever packaging broke, it was something in RHEL breaking and we rarely knew how to fix it, which would impact our other builds. So we won't be taking it back. If this means the death of (official) native packages for RHEL, that's unfortunate but the way it will be.
*I use this term to describe everything in the "Red Hat Enterprise Linux"-like ecosystem that uses RPM/DNF and "spec" files.
It would be cool if Jellyfin and RPMFusion maintainers could collaborate to provide and update the EL/Fedora specs for your build system, but yeah I understand that that would mean they (RPMFusion maintainers) would need to maintain the spec in two locations and introduce other burdens. My one true hope is that someone joins the Jellyfin team in the future with Fedora/RHEL rpm build knowledge and takes the work back
