I'm not sure filling against distribution is a good idea. I'd just file
bugs against the affected component, set the bug assignee to yourself,
and close it once you preform the automatic retirement. This way, you
won't have to worry about CCing the proper maintainer on the
distribution bug and the bugs will be more organized. The subject is a
separate problem.

I'd prefer something like the originally suggested "Notice: PACKAGE_HERE
will be automatically retired in RHEL X.X" so it's clear that
maintainers don't need to take manual action.
