In discussions with Fedora folks, everyone seems fine with EPEL sticking to it's original mission (and accepted brand.) There have been discussion in Fedora for something Robyn calls EPIC (Extra Packages for Infrastructure and Cloud), which is somewhat what you describe - items that are newer and faster-moving.
I think everyone likes the basic EPIC idea. It's mostly waiting for some people to work on it. If you're interested, the EPEL devel mailing list https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel is probably the best place to discuss it. I'd really love to see some Fedora/CentOS collaboration in this area.
