Maybe, but I think maybe first you should try an email address with
better spam filters than Google Mail.  Ideally, something where you
can check the server mail logs and see if any attempt is made.

I say that because I had some kohacon12 sponsors report not receiving
autoreplies from the main website... and I think all of them used
Google Mail, as do you and kwareict.com mail is handled by 30
aspmx5.googlemail.com.  It's not like the autoreplies were form emails
that looked like spam, so I suspect Google have cranked up the
filtering to paranoid and don't give a toss about mediawiki users.

Alternatively, maybe one of the wiki sysadmins can check its mail
logs.  It wouldn't be the first time it stopped emailing people.

Thanks for looking into this,
