I would like to know, whether you also like a new feature
- additional user option for Sysops, Developers and Bureaucrats (SDBs) - configurable through a regular expression (RE) - per SDB.
which sends an Enotif (e-mail notification) to the SDBs on creation of a new page - if the RE matches. It can now easily be included in my Enotif 3.x for Mediawiki REL1_4 (1.4.1).

This might be a useful feature if a) it ignores markup and b) offers an option for full vs. simplified REs. What flavor of REs would it use?
The reasons for ignoring markup are obvious enough and you may already have that in mind. Simplified vs. full RE syntax would be useful since many SDBs might not be technically oriented and constructing well formed REs that find what they are interested in, and only what they are interested in, might be a bit of a challenge. I would suggest making simplified REs the default.

either way I vote yes for this. I maintain a public wiki of only a few dozen pages, that will probably never grow over 200-300 pages in the foreseeable future, I see that most pages created are anonymous bozos clicking on a red link and going asdfasdfasdf, so I'd definitely want these to be notified...
on a side issue, I installed the pre-patched alpha the other day and I found it works rather nice, except some template parsing is broken, see my stub template here for an example, suddenly the wires are showing... http://cliki.site.co.il/index.php?title=%D7%AA%D7%91%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%AA:%D7%A...
is there a special bugzilla for Enotif, or do I open a bug on the regular bugzilla?

Such a RE would quickly become extremely long and hard to edit. Why not use a user's watchlist for this purpose?
