Couldn't a simple mechanism exists which asks every package maintainer before a new epel release gets created if his package should be included there (a mail with a link to website with a yes/no button would suffice, or something similar)?
By the simple fact of not creating an EL-7 branch, they've already opted for "no". Most businesses still stay away of RHEL7/CentOS 7 and therefore there still is little traction for EPEL7 as well. I am pretty sure that things will change once EL5 becomes [even more] deprecated and people switch to EL 7, but more water needs to flow below the bridges first.
