I wont close this as of now, as 'sending an Echo notification' on clicking 'Announce Issue' is not yet implemented.

Hard to test without having subscribers or even a page to browse newsletters. In practice, this task is blocked by T100492.

Qgil added a subtask: T103588: Internal error when accessing user Preferences in Newsletter's Labs instance.

The features seem to be in place, except one:

Clicking on 'Announce issue' button should send echo notifications to subscribers.

Have you received any notification? I'm not getting any, via web or email. May it has something to do with T103588: Internal error when accessing user Preferences in Newsletter's Labs instance?

Ah, wait, receiving notifications is covered in T101546: Implement 'Receiving notifications from subscribed newsletters' feature for Newsletter extension. Editing this task accordingly.

Well, then this task seems to be completed... although without receiving notifications it is difficult to test it and be sure.
