Sounds almost sarcastic. To deliver API changes without alerting other teams you, of course, simply deploy the changes without sending a message to the other teams.
The non-sarcastic answer is that sometimes you want to make changes that will not affect an APIs users in any significant way. Of course you would still document these changes in a change log that the consumers of the API may or may not check. Or you may want to hype/market these changes for clout reasons.
Maybe it's an API that services multiple sets of users with different partially-overlapping requirements and they don't all need to know about the new change.
Maybe it's a soft launch for a surprise feature that's going to be announced later.
Maybe the other team is on vacation and you just want to get changes out the door before some holiday.
