That looks pretty good, but I might suggest adding something more explicit at the end:
Note that this issue is purely informational, you do not need to take any actions at this time.
But perhaps thats overkill. ;)

It's slight overkill, but you are correct, they might think they have to do something. I have changed the last sentence to be
When that is released, EPEL automation will remove <package> from EPEL <major> and close this bug.
Troy
I'd consider something in a final paragraph that says "something like":
No action is required from you at this time.
Having an explicit "non-call to action" int its own paragraph may help folks feel more comfortable that they know what to expect and what they do/do not need to do.
Pat
Although I do agree having something in a separate paragraph would be best, my concern is that I don't know how they are creating these bugs. Doing a single paragraph, everything can fit between a pair of quotes, and you don't have to worry about special characters. That always works for any scripting or automation you are working with. Doing a separate paragraph might be easy, it might be a pain in the rear.
Troy
hmmmm, perhaps as sentence #1 then?
Pat
Good idea. I think if we put a modified version of Kevin's as the first sentance, we get.
