Comment (by sanchothefat):

 Awesome to see so many ideas and traction here. In the interests of
 collecting prior art and ideas here's something we're working on at Human
 Made:

 https://github.com/humanmade/Workflows

 It's aimed at becoming a replacement for the things we like about EditFlow
 in the longer term but it does have a notification system albeit not as
 feature complete as the suggestions here.

 The ideas in it are based on when should a notification be sent - so it
 uses action hooks. Those actions make certain data available which can be
 used to provide placeholders for a subject line and message, identify
 relevant users and to append links for further actions.

 It's the action links part that I think would be really useful to
 incorporate here - a notification is great but it's ''even more useful
 when it provides follow up steps''.

 I implemented those links using a webhook system so that they'd work from
 anywhere the notification was sent eg. slack, email or the dashboard.

 The specific files that may be of interest are:

 -
 [https://github.com/humanmade/Workflows/blob/master/lib/destinations/dashboard.php
 Dashboard notifications API]
 - [https://github.com/humanmade/Workflows/blob/master/inc/class-rest-
 webhook-controller.php Webhook API controller]

 Definitely keen to help out here.
