Thanks, abidiff is the tool I was thinking about. There's already
information there, but it wouldn't hurt to at least document
package/inherit. The abidiff flow could go in the cookbook.

That's also a good idea, but I don't think this can be automated using
the current CODEOWNERS logic, which can only group which files are in a
given scope, so we'd have to rely on humans to not forget tagging the
security team.
