Generally, self-contained changes should have all of the work being
done by the owners, not asking work of other people. But, I guess it
somewhat depends on how many other packagers are affected and how
strong that "may be required" is.
But, I think better than making this system-wide would be to have the
Node SIG as a whole sign on to making sure all node packages in Fedora
are updated; from the Changes policy, "Examples include addition of a
group of leaf packages, or a coordinated effort within a SIG with
limited impact outside the SIG's functional area."
