We already have a process that works pretty well. Create a wiki page that specifies the implementation. Notifying every Haskell user is pointless if there is no specification for them to look at. I have no idea why the specification step was skipped for this change.

We could warn about such a discussion in other mailing lists such as haskell, haskell-cafe, haskell-beginner, ghc-dev.

 That's a good start, but I'd prefer to also add non-email solutions for promoting visibility (i.e. social networks like Twitter, Google+, and Reddit).  For example, most of the reason this issue got a lot of visibility was the post to /r/haskell earlier today.
