Hello
A good way to engage active editors into the community life is to use Notifications. I hope the next development will permit to post notifications about community life or wiki projects updates, or much more!
I agree that notifications should be important in keeping people engaged (more so once there are useful cross-wiki notifications like "You Commons image was used on the Paris French Wikipedia article").
Some of this (e.g. newsletters) is intended to be in the scope of Flow (eventually), if I understand right.
There is a tool on Commons which displays a message on the watch list.
I believe there is a version of this on every wiki (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Watchlist_notice). It looks like Commons has some enhancement (maybe using site JS), but I wasn't easily able to find details.
