I think a wiki page might be simpler at least for first pass.
See transition of rails 5 for example 
https://salsa.debian.org/ruby-team/rails/-/wikis/Transition-to-Rails-5.2-for-Debian-Buster

For packaes that can't be fixed easily we can file bugs.

Once we have wiki, people can take ownership of a subset and look at 
specific packages (dividing the whole work).
