I don't know if we need a separate mailing list, but this information should  be part of the change log and posted on the announcements mailing list.

For example, the deprecation listed above was described in the change log as:

• std.path has been rewritten from scratch and has a completely new API.

Seems like more is needed. Maybe a wiki page or something with a list of deprecations scheduled along with build numbers and dates?
