IMHO this sounds too Fedora-centric. How about the following (with possible
stylistic and grammatical changes to make it sound better to native speakers)
:-)

    (Note that the "git send-email" subcommand may not be in the main git
    package and using it may require installing of a separate package. This
    package is called "git-email" in Fedora.) ...

ACK with the nit addressed.
