Yup

But my point is "OK, those are valid questions which might
recur regularly for changes - can we avoid them being asked
in the future?"

How can we arrange it so that in the future, no-one's left in
the dark wondering "When's my change going up? *Is* my
change going up? What do I need to do to get it to a state where it
will go up?"

So what happens now?

Yup. Document when you hit something which might need
it.
