EPEL is not a specific set of packages. It's a collection of packages which have maintainers willing to maintain them. We don't mass branch or build everything, maintainers are invited to build things as they are willing to support them. 

You can ask existing maintainers if they would like to support rhel8... just file a bug on the package and ask nicely.

Hope that helps!
