The request for an additional notification-type, is https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57517 (Notifications for "page patrolled" are marked and linked identically to "page reviewed") (I'm not sure if it was originally intended for both, or just for page curation?)
Dario makes a good point that the notification could be a lot clearer. Currently it only links to the Page and to the username of the Reviewer/Patroller. It should also link to either: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Page_Curation or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/patrolled_pages (actually, those both probably need better targets to send newcomers to... :-/ Perhaps that's the holdup?)
