Sounds like a good approach to me. I know it's stretching the scope of what you are talking about, but it would be also good to have some kind of "Action Required" type comms outside of the Dev mailing list for important changes that plugin maintainers need to know about to stop plugins breaking. Personally I find it hard to keep track of what I need to know vs what would be nice to know. Not sure if that fits within the scope of what you propose or whether that would be better attacked by, say, [ACTION REQUIRED] type subject lines in the Dev mailing list though.
