It would also need to be at the end, otherwise you'd expect Grevious to appear at some point in AotC. Here's my idea on how it can go down. It requires some dialogue that I don't know exists, but is fairly general.

For the reveal, could you put it at the moment Grevious escapes from the ship, near the begining? Replace "You lose, General Kenobi" (or whatever he says) with "I've waited thirteen years for this, General Kenobi." You'd still need some reaction from Obi-Wan, but the specific situation means the reaction can be more subdued, and possibly even wait until the next time someone mentions Grevious in a conversation with Obi-Wan.
I'm not sure either of these would work, but they're my thoughts on how you might be able to do Maul=Grevious.

THAT is an idea. That is clearly the most seamless place to add the material for Maul=Grievous.
Further, if Sidious is not in Episode I, then work has to be done to make his ENTRANCE worthy -- and this scene is his entrance.
Footage that builds up his first on screen appearance needs to be picked -- stuff that fits at the beginning of the scene as Dukoo flies in.
But letting Sidious blow our minds with not only his behind-the-scenes role that was felt but never seen in Episode I, and with his "everything's going according to plan" attitude to the war, and then with THIS: "I'm making a monster out of my old apprentice. I hope you like him..." It is great foreshadowing of what he will do to Anakin.
I really like this. I mean these ideas (I like them all).
