In this context, I would like to point out that we should not speak
about EPEL{6,7} guidelines, because they might evolve between RHEL minor
releases.

For example, Ruby in RHEL 7.4 has backported most of the macros
available for packaging rubygem -packages in the most recent Fedora. But
there macros are not available in RHEL 7.3.

Also, I would like to point out that FPC or whoever else in community
has hardly anything to say into something like EPEL Ruby guidelines,
because these guidelines are driven purely by RHEL (although I want to
make the packaging as similar as possible with Fedora).
