This issue is presented for resolution in the next version of the Mozilla
Root Store Policy. It is related to Issue #147
<https://github.com/mozilla/pkipolicy/issues/147> (previously posted for
discussion on this list on 6-Oct-2020).

Possible language is presented here:
https://github.com/BenWilson-Mozilla/pkipolicy/commit/c1acc76ad9f05038dc82281532fb215d71d537d4

In addition to replacing "if issuing EV certificates" with "if capable of
issuing EV certificates" in two places -- for WebTrust and ETSI audits --
it would be followed by "(i.e. a subordinate CA under an EV-enabled root
that contains no EKU or the id-kp-serverAuth EKU or anyExtendedKeyUsage
EKU, and a certificatePolicies extension that asserts the CABF EV OID of
2.23.140.1.1, the anyPolicy OID, or the CA's EV policy OID)." Thus, Mozilla
considers that a CA is capable of issuing EV certificates if it is (1) a
subordinate CA (2) under an EV-enabled root (3) that contains no EKU or the
id-kp-serverAuth EKU or anyExtendedKeyUsage EKU, and (4) a
certificatePolicies extension that asserts the CABF EV OID of 2.23.140.1.1,
the anyPolicy OID, or the CA's EV policy OID.

I look forward to your suggestions.

Thanks,

Ben
