 > Do you have any ideas of how we could notify (without inconveniencing)
 users who perform fully automated updates?

 Disclaimer: I am not a (regular) developer. So, I don't know the
 specifics. I believe this can be added depending on when and how we
 present the notice. If the notice is permanent until manually ignored by
 the user (such as by clicking the button "ignore this notice"), and if the
 notice is generated upon checking for plugin updates, then I believe we
 can put up a notice something like "the contributor/s for the plugin xyz
 has been changed when it switched from version 1.0 to 2.0. The currently
 installed version is 3.0. You may ignore this notice or know more at the
 plugin's WP.org repo".

 The term "security" is what brought me here. :)
