I wrote https://github.com/berkerpeksag/cpython-emailer-webhook to
solve this problem. It works and its output is almost same as the old
one [1] I even wrote some tests and documentation, but I just noticed
that I forgot to push to GitHub :)

If we all agree on the idea I can help with deploying it. I can use my
own VPS for the initial deploy, but it would be nice to have a PSF
backed server in the long term.
