It's my understanding that the release process is documented over in
the Storage SIG wiki.
https://wiki.centos.org/SIGGuide/Content/Release

Here's the bug confirming that they're added to the mirrors:
https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=13769  -- it's marked as confirmed
as of 2017-09-05 20:24

http://cbs.centos.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=6530 shows that the
builds are not yet tested.
What I can't see from here is if they're in a place to be tagged with
a release tag, so is that our next step to getting this out?

 Thanks!
