I suggest you look at the wiki page describing the package update process, specifically the section for rawhide:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy#Rawhide_.2F_devel_.2F_master 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.
