It was not announced on a mailing list (most spec edits aren't).

The email way to find out about would have been the mailing list for  
the svn commit diffs:

Not really. The headers attribute was included as the result of the  
*research* and algorithm prototyping (mostly by Ben Millard and James  
Graham) inspired by the previous debate in the WG. There was a delay  
between the debate and the spec change due to the massive feedback  
queue.
