Hmm. This notification creation API is not optimal. I think the body 
parameter should be completely replaced by 'kwargs' that could be used 
both for emails and notifications - perhaps passed as **kwargs. For a 
"multi comment commit", this parameter could have a 'comments' list of 
dicts (or tuples) with comment text and url and filename and line. For 
some types, one of the kwargs might still be a 'body'.

The content of the notifications is currently not as useful as the 
emails. The body stored in the notification should perhaps just be the 
essential html used for an email ... but we would probably still want 
one notification for each comment, even if we send mails with multiple 
comments. It could perhaps also be some serialization of the parameters 
so notifications can be shown nicely.

But I will point out that before, each email contains a link to see each 
comment in the right context. AFAICS, the emails with multiple comments 
no longer contains links to see each comment in the right content. For 
large PRs, it is essential to have links to each comment. It is 
essential to preserve that when changing things here.
