Perhaps add something like (wordsmithed by someone
competent in such things):

"The package you have been maintaining in EPEL is now
considered important enough to a large enough part of our
customers that Red Hat has decided to promote it to being
an officially supported part of the product...."

I like that idea.  It's much more positive.  A nice "Thank you for doing this in EPEL" type of feel.
