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. ;)
kevin
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.

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.
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>. This package has been considered important enough to Red Hat's customers that Red Hat has decided to promote it to be an official part of 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.
That looks great to me!
