How does this sound?

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>.  Red Hat considers this package important enough to promote it to official RHEL.  It will be part of RHEL <major>.<minor>.  Please do not update <package> in EPEL <major> so the RHEL version can have a higher version and release.  When RHEL <major>.<minor> is released, EPEL automation will remove <package> from EPEL <major> and close this bug.

I'm also late to the party with this feedback, but just in case it's
not too late to include, can we include something about not updating
the package further?  Beyond just "you do not need to take any
action", we should advise against making any changes at that point, as
often the RHEL package will be exactly one release higher than the
current EPEL package, and updating the EPEL package further (either
release or version) will screw up the upgrade path.
