Ok, looks like Itch notifies your followers like this:

New games or projects you release will be emailed to your followers
New devlog posts, and any other account activity, will be published to your followers' feeds
If a project of yours goes on sale then anyone who follows you and doesn’t own it yet is eligible for an email notification for the sale

So uploading new files won't spam them. If you don't want to fill their feeds with devlogs, maybe just add one devlog for the jam and update it every day with the date/work done?

Yeah, what worries me is that while only "New Games" are indicated as sending out an email, there are things in the second line that do also send out emails, specifically DevLogs.

A lot of stuff shows up in the feed (like very time you update/edit a project or add something to a collection,) which emails aren't sent for.

I agree that uploading new files should probably be safe. I think that ends up in the feed, but doesn't get emailed out unless you add a DevLog to it.

Unfortunately it looks like the documentation isn't totally clear or up to date.
