Is there any way that extension developers can get some sort of notice for
breaking changes, e.g., https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/50138? Luckily my
extension's JobQueue implementation hasn't been merged yet, but if it had I
would have no idea that it had been broken by the core.

Partly related: to be fair, Aaron asked comments about release notes and
announcements some months ago (although in that case for schema changes)
but there was none.

True, but schema changes are not as bad because they won't cause fatal
errors in PHP. At the very least if a schema change occurs your wiki will
still be operational.

I think, we should use Twitter in addition to the mailinglist.
I am not a fan of all new tools, but many OSS projects (owncloud,
mailvelope) post their breaking news there.
We do not (yet).

What about little things. I happened to stumble across
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/26828/ today, which seems like a
rather unnecessary back-compat break
