Great!

For the HTML messages, do you think we need something else than the
current wiki_to_html way?
For the text messages, I agree, we need a new "wiki_to_text" formatter,
which would take care of expanding the links, replacing some common
formatting idioms ('''...''' pairs to *...* ones, etc.)
The splitting, while not strictly required, would probably make things
easier.

Yes, for a variety of reasons, I think that a generalized notification
scheme would be useful.

I myself refrained creating several new branches since cmlenz announced
he was willing to go on with the setuptools effort. I think that new
branch should wait for this restructuring to happen, then we can base
further work on a structure that will likely stay for 0.11 and 0.12, at
the very least.
This in turn needs that we go through the discussion concerning the
security branch...
This is important not only because of the need to get these features in
0.11, but also because the changes there are enablers for the the
generalized event notification mechanism.
After that, sure, I'm in favor of creating a new 'notification' branch.
