CentOS - Oct 2020 - How to solve missing net-snmp-perl?

Hello,

Since Centos 8.2 the net-snmp-perl RPM seems missing. 

I already found a bug ticket https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=17408 

It looks like the package should actually be available in AppStream. But for
some reason it's not.
The package stuff at https://git.centos.org/rpms/net-snmp.git look like before.
The RPM file should be generated.

Now I wonder, how does the Centos infrastructure decide, which RPM to include
into the repository? When it's based on the tags, shouln't the
net-snmp-perl RPM be included together with the other RPMs?

I already studied the public available documation of the build system. But I
couldn't get the information I need.
Any hint for me?

Thanks.

For what its worth, net-snmp-perl isn't available any RHEL8 channels
either.  I suspect this is another one of those packages that aren't
in CentOS because they aren't in RHEL.

(Disclaimer: I don't know one way or the other, just checked on my
RHEL8 system to see if I could install it, and I can't)

Like for all missing devel and subpackages:

@Andre: You should open a report with category _unreleased_devel_pkgs in 
https://bugs.centos.org

Maybe it can be included in the Devel repo:
