Just a suggestion... thus far I have only seen the search for the real PM groups advertised on this site. Not everyone in the community reads use.perl regularly, if at all. It might be a good idea to run a small article (perhaps just something visible there -- I'd be willing to provide the prose if it's considered a good idea and they agree) on perl.com and if possible to advertise it on mailing lists or newsgroups, anywhere there may be perlians hanging out.
Email addresses go out of use frequently as people change jobs and the such, I wouldn't be surprised if at least some of those 75 are still active to a certain degree.
Also, keep in mind that august is a month off in many countries that have four, five, or more weeks of holiday a year (eg France) and that many of those 282 may get back to you in two or three weeks once their back and on top of things again (a reminder in two weeks probably won't hurt there).
