IHMO the proper way to deal with this is:
1. Mail fedora-devel and owners of dependent packages (at least)
one week in advance. This is a requirement and written down in
our wiki [1]. repoquery and the foo-owner aliases should help
here.
2. Ask maintainers if they are ok with the update and willing/able
to do a rebuild in time. Offer to rebuild packages if people are
not able to do it. Request the necessary commit access in
packagedb.
3. Once you have sufficient feedback, update opencv.
4. Submit a buildroot overwrite for opencv but do not push it to
stable or testing.
5. Mail owners again and tell them they can now rebuild their
packages
6. Wait for feedback before you create an update. If you have
commit access, you can include dependent packages in the update.
Proven packager will not work.
7. Mail owners again when you push the update from one tag to
another.
