What is wrong with a very low traffic opt-in mailing list called 
"Announcement-l" or something similar?  Where you can receive general 
announcements about things like Wikimania, upcoming elections, changes 
in board membership/leadership, and other significant issues of interest 
to the larger community?

There is more than one way to deal with this issue.
