Add the possibility to send a custom email to some or all patrons. Can be a new feature for patrons lists. This will allow the librarians send emails to a patrons group, like christmas email, an email holidays bussiness hours, etc.
You might want to consider using this plugin https://github.com/bywatersolutions/koha-plugin-patron-emailer I haven't reviewed it or used it in any way, so I'm not endorsing it, but it might be a solution.
Perhaps a 'bulk action' available after a report run if borrowernumber is available in the report output?
We should certainly bring that plugin into core in my opinion.

Isn't this a duplicate of Bug 16149 which added the ability to combine report results with a custom notice to generate emails? I've been testing out the new feature that came in 19.05 but as it doesn't support html in the message we probably wont be able to use it. (Enhancement request being worked on right now.)

Bug 16149 relies on a plugin, I think this would be good to have in 'core'.

To clarify, 16149 is a command line script, there is also a plugin, but they are separate
Maybe we should rename this "Move patron-emailer functionality into core"? Then one could manually send custom notices manually and next step could be to implement scheduling in the GUI maybe.
