I would suggest also to use api to find out user account with for example
users with over 1000 edits who are not active in last 3 months if you want
to reach former active users who for some reasons left projects. This might
let currently active users (who saw baners and several messages on various
channels) not spammed by useless E-mails..

That's it! The best way would be an e-mail
pointing to the prefered
language of the user.

If so - would be better to send it via E-mail and pointed to the local
discussion pages, no to meta and not in English. Mass spaming user
discussion pages may piss off many admnins. In Polish Wikipedia according
to local rules - mass spaming of user discussion pages is forbiden. I guess
WMF can ignore it using a bot account which cannot be locally blocked - but
I don't think it is good idea.

Good day!
As mentioned yesterday on Hangouts meeting it would be great to have a
way for mass emailing users. If we want the Track B discussion to go
somewhere we need the thoughts of: A- people who has been active in Wiki
projects but now is not (and their reasons not to be active) and B- people
who is active but is not used to look to discussions, sitenotices, village
pumps and so on.
I think that we could have two ways for implementing this: a mass message
in every user discussion and sending mails (mainly for A group) if the have
their e-mail set up.
Is it / would be possible to make this somehow?
