I agree with Petr’s response, and I would like to add that most of the
motivations for creating an EPEL-only package are in fact covered by one
of the review exceptions[1], e.g:
*
The package is being created so that multiple versions of the same
package can coexist in the distribution (or coexist between EPEL and
RHEL). The package MUST be properly named according to the naming
guidelines
<https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Naming/#_multiple_packages_with_the_same_base_name>
and MUST NOT conflict with all other versions of the same package.
*
The package exists in both Fedora and RHEL, but the packager wants
to ship it in EPEL under an alternative name (as required by EPEL
policy
<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies#Policy>)
to provide a subpackage that exists in Fedora but does not exist (or
is not shipped) in RHEL.

Thanks Petr,
I expected such an approach, but my ticket was closed twice with:
The Bugzilla bug is for "Fedora EPEL" but the requested branch is "rawhide"
So I changed BZ from epel to Fedora. And I hope now it will work.
When requestion a repository, you always need to refer to an approved bug in
Fedora/Package Review(*) with a matching package name in a subject of the bug.
The only exception is when no review is needed. Then you use --exception
option.
* Reviews for modules use a different product and component.
