They're talking about using Minion or something to diff the files and send changes to authors as suggestions. You'd want to be able to add metadata to tell Minion which files are normally supposed to be edited and which don't constitute changing actual addon code.
The thing about this is that it would generate a TON of spam, most of it worthless, even if you could eliminate false positives caused by actual updates to addons. I think that if you have made a change that you feel is worth getting added to the main distribution, it would be better to send it to the author with a description of what it does.
