Again, you only point out the wrong, not the right. Whoever it is or
whatever the department is called, it's @redhat.com. GSS has the most
benefit from getting it right, because they answer the phone when a
customer is confused having packages from EPEL that are in RHEL. I think
the message I wanted to send out was clear enough on it's own,
regardless of getting all the acronyms and departments right.
