for TOS changes notifications, if this is accurate:

In reply to:

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled on July
18th that [0]contracts posted online cannot be updated without notifying
users ([1]PDF of ruling). 'Parties to a contract have no obligation to
check the terms on a periodic basis to learn whether they have been
changed by the other side,' the court wrote. This ruling has consequences
for many online businesses, which took for granted their right to do this
(see for example item 19 in [2]Google's Terms of Service)."

Doesn't everyone already have an email contact for each account?

Sure, but do you get notifications of TOS changes?

Sorry, I guess I just mistook what you meant by a new mailing list.

I wonder what the minimum standard is for notification is? Did you notice? P-mail would seem like overkill. Email is old hat and likely. What about offering an RSS feed? I wonder if you're going to be offered an opt-out for various forms of notification?
