Thank you for reporting this. The SIG does take a while to get updated 
with the latest bits. We are looking at ways to improve that in the future.

Once the packages from the CentOS Storage SIG are available on the
mirrors, we'll get a centos-release-gluster312 package in CentOS Extras.
After that is in place, an announcement to the CentOS list [8] will be
sent.

At the moment we're waiting for the CentOS team to initite the mirroring
of the new gluster-3.12 repository. Hopefully this happens early next
week.

HTH,
Niels
