Yeah. I was responsible for some of these, but put them up for adoption
about a year ago. You've about captured the status, all rpm-related
packages in Debian are old, unmaintained, Python 2 only. Updating to
Python 3 ports of mock and koji need dnf, yum is abandonware.

I've seen a couple threads about packaging dnf (likely not archived),
but so far no one has committed enough to file an ITP.

There _is_ an ITP for createrepo-c (#912338), a C-only reimplementation,
also a koji dependency, but looks like it may have stalled.
