Is there any reliable summary of this information, rather like a matrix 
that describes characteristics of the relevant EL6 repos?

Examples of matrix columns (assuming the rows lists the repos):

paid professional or volunteer maintained?  (E.g., Fermilab/CERN has 
paid professional staff assigned to SL)

Timeliness of updates (e.g., only TUV based, or fixes/extensions before 
TUV)?

Strict separation of production RPMs from beta RPMs?

Particular emphases?

A matrix or a similar data structure would save all of the time digging 
through a threaded discussion.
