I've sent email to maintainers of both RHEL 6 and EPEL 5 branches of packages that are expected to appear in RHEL 6 as of a few weeks ago. The email to each person has a list of their maintained packages that are affected, and the counterpart person on the other branch.
The emails are simply meant to make sure that everyone is communicating with each other. This was something Kevin Fenzi, and others in the EPEL weekly meetings, had told me would be useful in advance of the RHEL public beta or final product. Hope it's helpful, and thank you again, EPEL community, for providing such high quality content for EL users.

I think that it is very helpful, since, as far as I can tell, communication between RHEL and EPEL developpers is not widespread. The people I knew in the list, I knew them through Fedora and not through EPEL.

I was extremely happy to see this. I am a big fan of open communication within the community (and between communities in some cases), so in short: Thank you and all those involved to make this happen!
