Since this ML is not really on the radar of many extension writers, how about creating a C API change announcement list where breaking changes are posted or, even better:
Analyze the top PyPI packages, identify the ones which would break and send the maintainers an email explaining the change.
(This would be a great SoC project, perhaps for next year.)
The posts could then direct package authors to this list for additional discussion.
