What might help is making this policy easier to find.  I tried to find
it, and first I looked in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Package_Maintainers but I didn't
see anything directly related to updates, I had to resort to the big
list of pages below, and looked at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_update_HOWTO and then
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_update_guidelines and finally
found a link to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/MaintainerResponsibility
where I found near the bottom
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/MaintainerResponsibility#Notify_others_of_changes_that_may_affect_their_packages

I would think that the Maintainer Responsibility page would have a much
more prominant display on the Category:Package_Maintainers page, and the
sub item about notifications should be linked to from the update_HOWTO
and update_guidelines pages.

Anybody want to take on the task of re-arranging this stuff?
