I'm not sure metadata is fit, it might not apply to all ebuilds of a
package.

We're not talking 'generally' here, we're talking specifically. Sure,
the big changes get communicated about, but not every single package
bump/bugs gets notified to all arch teams, that is overdone anyway.
Realistically most of the time ebuilds themselves are the primary way of
communicating changes and that is not necessarily bad.
