I have little experience with building GCC, and none at all with modules or SCLs. I think this would be too big a project for me to handle in my scarce free time, but if a team would form to build a GCC with more languages enabled, then maybe I could help to some small degree.

gcc-objc will need someone to make a module or SCL for it. The GCC
src.rpm seems to be patched out to not make any of the alternative
compilers that gcc normally makes. So someone will need to take this
on as a major project to form. I mention an SCL (or something similar)
because RHEL-8.x seems to be using scl's for updated compilers.
For a spitball-strawman, I would probably make a fully updated gcc
stack which compiled into /opt/epel/{bin,lib,etc} (I put in a ticket
for us to get this namespace reserved by the official Linux Filesystem
group last year. I have not heard anything for/against it so may just
say fudge it and use it). Again spitball
For a better strawman, this needs to be done in the CentOS-SCL and we
work out how to integrate our efforts somewhere.
Beyond that, anything from Red Hat will need to be done through the
customer process like Troy mentions.

Note: I am not an expert of gcc-objc. I just see that it wasn't built with the RHEL8 gcc and I'm answering accordingly. Someone else might have different, better answers.

If the answer to the first question, from Red Hat, is that they do not plan on supporting it anymore. Yes, you will need to package gcc-objc EPEL8.
