Rather than going the 'mailing list' route, since it's for a one-time send, why don't I just do it? If someone can give me access to the google doc, and the final text, I'll get it sent out from an appropriate email address.

So I gather the mailing to the signed-up users hasn't gone out yet? If all else fails, I can do it from my personal account, but it would really be preferable to do it from a wikivoyage.org or wikimedia.org address. Would it be hard to eg. set up a one-off mailing list, or is there another nice way to handle this?

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean by this, I may have missed some discussion - what do you want to send out in this email, a welcome email for new users and some information about what the project's about? When a user creates an account they currently receive an email from wiki[at] wikimedia.org. The email template for new user accounts on the English Wikipedia is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Confirmemail_body and the one for English Wikivoyage is at https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Confirmemail_body (editable by admins).
