Nevertheless, I am now trying to directly persuade the assignee of the redhat-release component to give me a statement of whether this will ever changed or not in RHEL, or maybe it will even be changed, which I somehow doubt, as it was not even changed for a stable Fedora release.
So I got confirmation that RHEL won't provide these macros: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481023 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=564188
Therefore just adding a buildsys-macros to EPEL seems to be the best option to fix this. People who do not want to use EPEL can then still use the groups repository instead of EPEL, because both can happily co-exist.
