BTW, do we have a central file listing those files that we need to
update like this every once in a while?
I.e. a list we'd check before a release, or something like that.

I don't know of any such list.  Perhaps it would be a good idea to
create one.

For updating Unicode files, we have admin/notes/Unicode.  That happens
whenever a new version of the Unicode Standard is released, not when
Emacs is released.

What I mean is a place where we list all those things that need
occasional updates.  It doesn't mean we have to update them at every
release, but that every release would be an opportunity to go through
the list and see if an update is in order.

How many of us are sufficiently aware of this publicsuffix.txt copy we
have?  Are there enough of us to make sure we won't end up forgetting
about it some day?

Do you mean admin/release-process?

That could be asked about every file in the repository, I think.

If this file needs to be added to some of the files mentioned, feel
free to do that.

IOW, IMO it's not that we lack "a central file listing those files";
rather, those central files don't mention everything they should, so
we should fix them one missing file at a time.

FWIW, I've added it to my Emacs todo-list as a recurring item, so I've
effectively adopted this particular stray cat.

Of course, it's still a good idea to put other measures in place.  For
example, the attached patch adds a note to update some files to
admin/release-process.
