sefcontext module should support equivalent paths
SUMMARY
This is a duplicate of ansible/ansible#46367 as that issue was closed because of the collection migration. I'm including the text of the issue below:
The semanage fcontext command has a -e/--equal argument that allows a user to specify a source path to use for filesystem contexts for another directory.
For example, /var/www/html typically has SELinux contexts applied so that web servers can serve content from that directory. However, if a user decides to put web content in /opt/web, that directory won't have the correct SELinux contexts applied. The user could then do something like:
semanage fcontext --add --equal /var/www/html /opt/web
restorecon -Rv /opt/web
This would instruct SELinux to apply the same contexts to /opt/web that it would normally apply to /var/www/html.

sefcontext
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It would be nice if this was part of the sefcontext module but maybe it needs to be its own module.

Just curious on the status of this. Are there plans to add this functionality?
I don't think this module is actively maintained by anyone, so nothing will happen until someone creates a PR for this functionality.
