Hi Gordon, you're right, there used to be view access notifications for
all new group pages.  But are you sure you got them in 1.3?  I think
I've found the culprit (bug #627853, commit 473a309db4) - it basically
suppresses the notifications for any view access that's added
automatically during view creation (rather than access that's
deliberately granted on the view access page).

This was changed before 1.3 came out though.  So when I go back to the
1.3.0 release, I don't get the view access notifications for new group
views, but when I go back a bit further to 1.3.0rc1 (or 1.2), I *do* get
them (but in 1.3.0rc1 I also get view access notifications for the group
homepage whenever a group is created).

We could add them back in, but I guess we'd still want to avoid doing it
for the group homepage and we might want to think more carefully about
unintended spammage, because these notifications would be sent as soon
as the view is created, even if it's empty and/or unfinished.

In the meantime for 1.4, all you can really do as a workaround is
generate notifications for a particular page by going to the access
screen, removing access for the group and then adding it again.
