It would be really nice if the wording of the bug could contain some kind of a "thank you" note to the EPEL maintainers of the package in question. Not everyone will understand this process as "great, I don't have to maintain package X anymore, Red Hat will be doing that for me from now on". Some folks may take it as "Oh no! Red Hat is taking away my toy! Why?!" Ideally, there should still be a way for EPEL maintainer(s) to continue contributing to the RHEL package.
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.
