Apart from the email question, which as Art said can be controversial, we want to have a better way to *notify* people who expressed interest when a new community launches. We'd need to write a whole new "proposals" framework to do that right, which is a lot of work and we have higher-priority tasks right now. Threaded comments might give us *a* way to do that (still working on that). For now, I've been pinging people in comments (skipping people who've already joined the new community), in addition to the promoted posts. If we could notify people, and we supported (opt-in) email about pending notifications, then we'd have what you're asking for -- plus a solution for *other* notifications that people haven't seen yet because they don't visit our sites multiple times per day like some of us hard-core folks.
