On the Samba team we use wording like this:

Subject: Heads-up: Security Releases ahead!
Hi,
This is a heads-up that there will be Samba security updates on
Wednesday, June 19 2019. Please make sure that your Samba
servers will be updated soon after the release!
Impacted components:
- AD DC (CVSS 6.5, Medium)
-----------------------------
We now do this systematically, after a haphazard start.
To help ourselves stay on track, we are trying to formalise our
process into something approaching a checklist:

and we are happy to hear suggestions for improvement.
cheers,
Douglas
