There really is no 'official' mechanism for this yet, to my knowledge.
But other than what you've already done (sending this email), which is
probably sufficient, you should probably have:

1.  Cc'ed the message to the relevant release team mailing list (I'm
Cc'ing this one which should cover it)

2.  Changed the status of #4990 to 'Resolved' with the appropriate
resolution status (probably 'fixed'.  And included in the resolution
comment much of the verbiage from your email.
