For naming of the package, please follow the Fedora guidelines for
"Multiple packages with the same base name". You'll find many other
styles of naming these kind of packages, both in RHEL and EPEL, but
please stick with the current Fedora guidelines on this.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Naming/#multiple
Also make sure your package name and none of the files in your package
conflict with anything shipped in RHEL. This may require manually
renaming some files.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-policy/#package_maintenance_and_update_policy
Once you have a working spec file, you can request a dist-git repo
with the exception flag because it would fall under the second bullet
point for exceptions.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/ReviewGuidelines/#_package_review_process
If the package is intended to be EPEL-only, make sure to retire the
rawhide branch.
