Typically, this might be the local version of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical) or just http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump (depending how big the wiki is). A bot should be able to deliver this message to all the pages, once the list is in place.
Yeah, there is EdwardsBot which will blast all the Village Pumps for us, and I've written/delivered messages myself on a smaller scale. It's just that the only time I've done this in the past was for new features entirely, usually an extension. Using the global message delivery system for a single MediaWiki message change feels like a bit like overkill, which is why asked about precedent. :)
