I'm also with Frederik on this one - I wouldn't want a notification application to keep emailing me about what people are doing halfway through a changeset - therefore, it would be better to know when changesets are done and dusted. Which was one of the main driving points behind changesets - they are the foundation for some proposed anti-vandalism work ("monitoring and rollback" was the project moniker), as well as the db efficiency stuff Matt referred to.
