What about an email list called fedora-soname-bump. If you are going
to do a soname bump, you send an email to that list with the library in
the subject line. Maybe, if it isn't a lot of work to find them, the
dependent packages are in the body of the message.
Subscription is voluntary, so if someone likes surprises, they don't
subscribe. But everybody sends their soname changes to the list,
subscribed or not.
