May I suggest 'edit_warning', or something else that explicit (because a 'warning' key could be used for so many purposes) ? And use proper namespace ordering, ie edit_warning:name=blah rather than name:edit_warning=blah (because many keys, like name or phone, are also namespaces that can be followed by arbitrary sufixes).

That said, you should open bugs on the various editors as soon as possible to discuss with them what they think of such a feature. Unless this tag gets editor support, it doesn't bring anything that the already popular 'note' tag doesn't give. Sadly, inexperienced mapers are the ones most likely to miss a plain 'note' tag, but they are also most likely using iD, whose developers are pretty warning-averse...
