Analyze the top PyPI packages, identify the ones which would break and send the maintainers an email explaining the change.
for this particular issue, I have a repository which contains the C code in the top 4000 PyPI packages: https://github.com/hpyproject/top4000-pypi-packages
the repo is imperfect: to keep the size small it contains only the C code (thus you can't build the packages from there), I manually removed some duplicated/vendored/autogenerated files and it's just a snapshot of a certain point in time. However, it is very useful in combination with grep to have some idea of how often a certain API and/or pattern is used in the real world.
