I agree; the problem is that such notifications are currently not planned in Echo/Notifications. Quoting from my post on WP:VP/T: "It seems to me that this noticeboard would be yet another suboptimal workaround to a proper channel for topical notifications. Echo/Notifications was once presented as the solution to this problem, but "public announcements" are currently listed as "out of scope" < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo#Scope >. I don't know what the timeline is (if any) for the support of topical public announcements in Echo."
