I think part of the reason is that non-RHT customers have no binaries in
which to test their builds upon. Ballparking here, but I think not a
small amount of EPEL packagers are CentOS (or other) users and not RHEL
users.
The last time I checked it was 75% were CentOS users but that was
around 5 came out.
That said, I think it would be quite fair to grant each EPEL
packager
with a RHEL developer entitlement which could be used to test their
builds upon.
Good luck with that :).
