To give the widgets a better chance of discovery for new downloaders and people who don't have auto-updates turned on, could the Description and, for the release introducing the widget, the What's New metadata fields reference the widgets?

Absolutely.

I was thinking it might be interesting to silently have them in place to see what the uptake is, and then follow that with explicitly calling them out later to see what the impact might be.

The scientist in me finds this experiment interesting, but the product manager in me would rather have our users informed and using the stuff we make... and the product manager bit wins. ;-)

We'll roll it out with notices in the relevant bits of the store listing and see what the uptake is.
