Hi, after a long long journey...
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Newsletters !
The Newsletter extension is a tool to facilitate subscription and delivery
of newsletters hosted on MediaWiki-based sites. You can learn more about
this extension at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Newsletter
Any newsletters within the scope of
MediaWiki.org can be created. In
previous discussions it was agreed to only allow administrators to create
newsletters. Once a newsletter is created, their publishers can announce
new issues at will without requiring administrators anymore.
If you want to create a newsletter and you need an administrator to do it,
we will be happy to help you at

If you want to report problems, request features, or get involved in the
project, please check

PS: BIG THANK YOU to everybody involved in this project. Proper attribution
and celebration will come in a blog post summarizing these ~2,5 years of
planning, development, testing, and deployment to a first Wikimedia wiki.
