(1) The commit message should be cleaned up: "Factor these out ... and
then set ..."

(2) When I filed the BZ, I didn't realize that this instance of the old
list address was in a localized string / message.

However, the example of MSG_PYTHON_ON shows that such messages can take
parameters as well. This means that all code locations referencing
MSG_SEARCH_FOR_HELP will have to be updated -- MSG_SEARCH_FOR_HELP
should use %s, and all uses of MSG_SEARCH_FOR_HELP should pass in
EDKII_MAIL_ADDR as a parameter:

$ git grep -l -w MSG_SEARCH_FOR_HELP

Source/Python/UPT/InstallPkg.py
Source/Python/UPT/InventoryWs.py
Source/Python/UPT/Logger/StringTable.py
Source/Python/UPT/MkPkg.py
Source/Python/UPT/ReplacePkg.py
Source/Python/UPT/RmPkg.py
Source/Python/UPT/TestInstall.py

For example,

                    ExtraData=ST.MSG_SEARCH_FOR_HELP % EDKII_MAIL_ADDR
