Axel Thimm, who's a Fedora developer who also runs a third-party repo, is also very active with EPEL.
But also very disappointed from the course that EPEL chose to take wrt to all other 3rd party repos. He's currently stripping off repotags from his repo cursing all day people in EPEL that forced him to do this.
FWIW I finally stepped down from epel today:

More time for other projects, like improving "third party CentOS 5 compatibility" (quoting the subject) with the repos that do care about each-other.
