Wouldn't it be better to notify users if a long unupdated extension suddenly updated?

  That's trivial to work around. It would lead to wasted resources where developers push out no-op "updates" to keep from being stale, and in the case of a sale a condition of the sale would be that the original developer pushes out some benign updates prior to the sale closing (or the new owner would push a few benign updates until people stopped looking). In other words it would cause more work for good developers and extension reviewers and grant no additional safety.

    Very good adversarial thinking.

      i think adversarial thinking is what more people need to do when thinking up policies and/or metrics to measure/monitor something.
