The easiest way to do this would be via a mailing list which users subscribe to; however, mailman's interface isn't really very obvious for someone who's just looking to sign up for something. So, it would be nice if something could be added which would handle the initial part of the subscription when the user enters their email address into a (simple) form, and they just have to reply to the mailman email to subscribe.
Is there any chance of something like this being done, or does anyone have any other suggestions on how to handle it?
Why would you want to use a full blown MLM system? You wont need archiving, you wont need moderation, you wont need, well damm near anything beyond the most basic mail-to-a-lot-of-people abilities. It could be done with a very long alias :) Users have exactly one option: get the mail, or not. Make it a mediawiki preference.
