I think when someone signs up to comment on a blog, it's not intrusive to email them to thank them for it. Now if you were to send an email telling them to buy something, it might be a different story! WWSGD, I agree, is not configured properly most of the time. It does have potential to be an effective tool to relay some important message about the blog, not necessarily asking them to subscribe to the feed. I don’t find Comment Relish to be spam.

"Comment Relish" is borderline spamming since the email is unsolicited. WWSGD is rarely configured well and tends to show the same trite, annoying, easy-to-ignore "Subscribe to my feed" message that 1001 other blogs show.
