Removed package from EPEL for Amazon Linux 2

Question

Hi,
in my instances running AL2 i am using the EPEL repo to have access to especially on package (libmaxminddb). This package was now removed from EPEL because it was included in RHEL7.7. Are there any chances this package can find its way into the Amazon Linux 2 core repo as it did for CentOS7? Or do i have to install the package manually via rpm or self built?

Thx.
