That is pretty well worded, though you can just use "EPEL <major>"
instead of "epel<major>".
I was debating whether to use capital letters or not. I agree with you, I think it does look better, and I have capital RHEL.
With the bit I added for Kevin, here is what I currently have
Subject:
Notice: <package> will be automatically retired from EPEL <major> when RHEL <major>.<minor> is released
Comment:
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.
