Comment:

 This ticket definitely peeks my interest.

 I was just recently contemplating the fact that notifications are
 presented to logged in users who are often not the administrators, and the
 fact that administrators may not log in often, especially if they are
 overseeing many different sites. So I have been wanting to find a way to
 route all notifications that are not specific to user actions to a central
 log where an administrator can be proactively notified when a new notice
 it added but that users would not need to be bothered by these notices.

 Said another way, I am completely on board for this proposal, especially
 if it follows the API and classification aspects suggested by @schlessera.

 Replying to [comment:12 johnjamesjacoby]:

 immediately turns into a complex application inside an application. Post
 types and taxonomy terms aren’t a great fit either, because notifications
 are generally per-user, not per-role or whatever else.

 I would argue that some notifications are per-role; e.g. ''"There is a new
 version of plugin X"'', ''"You need to set your account/license key"''
 and ''"Upgrade to the Pro version!"''

 Not sure what others want, but those are the ones I would most like to see
 removed from the admin console and adding into an API that an admin could
 aggregate across multiple sites.
