Won't all this need to be settled before RHEL 7 ships anyway? There will
be a 10 year support life of the version shipped on day 1, and I quite
strongly expect that pcmk will have long-ago moved on while this version
still needs supporting.

Or will that part of things be handled but a team in RHEL, as you
mentioned earlier about it being up to the EL people to sort out?

I've got no opinion either way, I am just curious as a user how the
mechanics of this work/will work.
