Re-signing the package with the centos key, and then adding it to the
repo. I don't see a need to do anything else.

I think it's also worth considering if you want %config or %config(noreplace) for the .repo file in the package. We touched on this briefly in the EPEL meeting and Ansii opened a bug to track it: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1135576

FWIW, epel-release-6 is %config(noreplace) on the repo file -- meaning it won't overwrite user-modified repo files. It might be worthwhile to have %config for the initial release of epel-release-7 (specifically to ensure that "gpgcheck=1" gets added), but after that I'd rather see it as "noreplace". I'll comment on the bug to see if we can get that sorted out.
