I think there is an expectation that EPEL would be more restricted in that regard - and it does have an exception for security purposes. Kevin gave excellent direction here; referencing the overhead that's required for maintaining an EPEL package. That said, some people wouldn't want to deal with it - regardless of their level of expertise. That is completely understandable, and isn't a bad thing. You can maintain a package for Fedora and choose not to package for EPEL.
