This is a great idea and would really be valuable in the types of
situations we had yesterday.  I ended up jumping on Twitter/G+ to
spread the news about package updates.  Having a team dedicated to the
fixing and the communications would help keep people better informed.

With that said, I'd be glad to help.  I'm sure we can come up with
some technologies and processes relatively quickly.  Something as
simple as a call to join #fedora-eoc (emergency operations center)
might be a good stopgap.
