Hi Kevin,
Thanks for clarifying this:
" Those are the instructions if you are a fedora maintainer... if you are just an
interested user, the process is much simpiler:
File a bug on the epel version of the package and ask if the maintainer would be willing
to maintain it for epel7 as well.
If there's no answer in 1 week, another maintainer could step in, at that point you
could ask the list if anyone would be willing to step in and maintain it. "
And couldn't agree more on:
" We need to make the faq more clear on this point... "
I faced the same problem with Kyle and got the same understanding as Kyle did.
I made a different mistake by editing:

Quite right. It's something I encounter once or twice a year, if that.

I followed the procedure outlined in the FAQ:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#How_do_I_request_a_EPEL_branch_fo...
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_SCM_admin_requests#Package_Chan
ge_Requests_for_existing_packages
Using the search form presented here:
http://fedoraproject.org/PackageReviewStatus/
...I successfully located the review tickets for most of the packages
in the subject line, and followed the instructions on requesting a
branch for EPEL7. I was unable to find a review ticket for the blt
package, so I created one, following the instructions linked in the
FAQ.
Those are the instructions if you are a fedora maintainer... if you are just an interested
user, the process is much simpiler:
File a bug on the epel version of the package and ask if the maintainer would be willing
to maintain it for epel7 as well.
If there's no answer in 1 week, another maintainer could step in, at that point you
could ask the list if anyone would be willing to step in and maintain it.
We need to make the faq more clear on this point...
