The notification drivers config option supports multiple values, so you
don't need to subclass in order to make that work. You could implement a
completely separate driver that does different notifications than the
built-in version. Of course, we should probably make that base class
public but you don't have to actually subclass it for your driver to
work AFAICT.

You might also want to look at the existing RoutingDriver. It does not
do quite what you want, but some of the concepts might be useful. It
would be useful to be able to compose the routing notifier with other
notifiers to do the sort of thing you're talking about without having to
build a custom driver.
