I suggest you look at the wiki page describing the package update process, specifically the section for rawhide:
It outlines the actions recommended / needed for updates with and without implications for dependent packages.
Jason already posted a link to a script which you can use to determine affected packages and their maintainers.

How do I find out what packages depends on it? Would
`dnf repoquery --whatrequires brotli`
provide that? or is there a different command that I should run? Do I just
make an announcement after uploading with the list of packages that need to
rebuild or is there something else that I need to do first?
