Communication channel to learn about breakages as they happen, or likely breaking changes?

I just had a student inform me that they could not reply to other students in a discussion that I set up in advance over the summer. I saw that threaded replies had been turned off without my knowledge, turned them back on, and announced the bug to the class with my apologies.
Last month, I also ran into a major breakage of pre-made Announcements and had to remake all of my announcements this term. I found out only when they announcements were not being sent, and the only way I got more info was by visiting these forums after the breakage happened.
Is there a communication channel by which instructors can be informed of these breakages when they happen, or warned of changes that are likely to render their existing course materials inaccessible? Do we need to keep relying on side channels?
