I disagree.

The email-user function is opt-in, explicitly and clearly so. The  
subject of the emails is clearly related to both the Wikimedia  
foundation, and the project they are being emailed on. The fact that  
it is on a larger scale does not have anything to do with the fact  
that it is a related, important message, that is clearly about the  
project.
