 Currently What I understood, email comes on epel-devel list which says
 like "Orphaned Packages in epel5 (2015-03-14)" and then followed by actual
 package removal. This is not giving a sufficient time for people to read
 such generic email.

 I suggest email personally to people which get affected by such package
 removals. e.g. when time comes to remove orphaned packages, pick such
 packages one by one, generate report what other owned packages also be
 removed. Email such owned packages people that their package will be
 picked for removal in next 3-7 days. Leave the further decision to those
 people. They can either find someone to own dependent orphaned package or
 own it themselves.
