RedHat does follow this list, so perhaps it is worth contacting them to point out that this patch would really be appreciated, even if it ends up in an EPEL package (which should still be acceptable).

That said, I commiserate with the original poster that yes, when the policy is that you're only allowed to use vendor packages, you're limited in what you can and cannot do.
