Other than the title of the second link it doesn't mention he would be a series regular, it just says the door was left open to appear in season 4.
I don't believe they ever intended for the Governor to be a regular character, he was just a means to an end. I think you may be over thinking the timeline and what they had planned for the Governor from the start.
Correct me if I am wrong but they would have been done shooting the Governor episodes and he would have already been dead long before he signed onto another show in August.
