As this mistake was caused by Red Hat, I don't see a good reason, why EPELshall fix this and take care of it.
It must be fixed because, that is the EPEL policy regardless of the history of the package.
IMHO a good package maintainer does
such things and has a careful look around before acting, especially if the package is stolen (IIRC even the %changelog wasn't changed) - the Red Hat guy didn't do that until now.
I agree on coordination however re-using a spec cannot be called stealing by any means.
