I suppose update frequency would play a role in the choice: if something 
is going to be frequently updated, then a README that can updated along 
with a push seems appropriate.

On the other hand, if the information is going to be set the standard 
for development for a while, then an informational JEP would seem more 
appropriate to me.

I suppose we don't foresee moving off utf-8 after the migration, so in 
this case I think the latter may be better.
