I'm also late to the party with this feedback, but just in case it's
not too late to include, can we include something about not updating
the package further? Beyond just "you do not need to take any
action", we should advise against making any changes at that point, as
often the RHEL package will be exactly one release higher than the
current EPEL package, and updating the EPEL package further (either
release or version) will screw up the upgrade path.

I see your point. It sometimes also happens when the EPEL package is a dependency of the
important package, the customers aren't actually asking for the EPEL package.
It looks like this change still hasn't been merged in so I'll see if I can get a
change in. How about this?
Subject:
Notice: <package> will be automatically retired from EPEL <major> when RHEL
<major>.<minor> is released
Comment:
This issue is purely informational, you do not need to take any action. Thank you for
your work maintaining <package> in EPEL <major>. Red Hat considers this
package important enough to promote it to official RHEL. It will be part of RHEL
<major>.<minor>. When that is released, EPEL automation will remove
<package> from EPEL <major> and close this bug.
