I guess that by "bundling" you refer to present several notifications of the same type as a single element.
I think that aggregating them by type is something really good for certain kind of notifications, but other content-related notifications may benefit from being aggregated by content.

Thats especially relevant when several individual events are correlated or can be interpreted as signs of a more global event (which is somewhat related to the concerns raised by Chris).

For example, if a page receives 1k reads, 20 comments and 2 cross-link, it may be useful to present that as a single "Your page on Higgs Boson is becoming popular (1k reads, 20 comments and linked by 2 other pages today)".

More than a specific solution I wanted to make sure that different kinds of aggregation critera are considered when the "bundling" discussion happens.

I thought about this, and at first I thought I agreed.  But I actually
think it could be interesting for main namespace pages I created,
especially recent ones.  If it's mainspace->mainspace (a link *on* an
article *to* an article) and there is a time-based filter ("links to
articles you created within the last 30 days"), I would probably use it.

I'd say it's somewhere in between, since writing something (the link is
just one aspect) using your page is different from just visiting it.
