Public bug reported:

Currently if a user leaves feedback on a group or institution page /
artefact there is no notifications sent out to interested parties.

The problem exists in ActivityTypeArtefactCommentFeedback
(artefact/comment/lib.php) on approx line 1205 where if there is no
owner id it doesn't follow thru to the sending of notifications. This
needs to be changed so that groups/institutions also get notifications.

Currently the notification is only designed to be sent to the first user
in an array of users (containing only one user, the owner of
page/artefact). This will need to change so that it can actually loop
through users if there is more than one to be notified for
groups/institutions.

The question is who are the users that need to receive the feedback
notification? Is it the group/institution admins? all members?
Institution staff (for institutions)? Only those users in
group/institution watching the page?

I'm not sure to whom we should restrict the comment notification message
- please feel free to add suggestions to this bug report.
