A customer came to me with a request: she wanted to be notified (by sound) whenever a new email from a particular sender arrived -- she doesn't like checking her e-mail too often, but she needs to know as soon as a message from a major client arrives.

I thought about using a message filter for it, but neither Seamonkey nor Thunderbird offer an action for it.

Does anybody know of an extension that could do that? (She uses a Gmail account -- perhaps a Greasemonkey script on her webmail window would be overkill?)

Should I open a bug in Bugzilla requesting this enhancement for future versions?

More generally, instead of a bug requesting custom notifications, should it be a request for running an external program? There's a very old bug, 158019, requesting the ability to run an AppleScript on a Mac... this kind of feature would add enough flexibility to solve this problem and perhaps a number of others, but I'm not sure about the security implications.
