• how to do a single notification when several objects are added/updated (just how it occurs today when adding several files at the same time)? A notification should be also added when bulk editing issues. Sending a notification for each modified issue would be insane and pretty slow.
• maybe one day, we'd like to display the name of the users that were notified (eg. in the flash message). How to retrieve it from the observer?

Before doing the refactoring, here are a few thoughts:

I'll watch out for those. My main concern is the issue notifications. The add_files action isn't very complex so it won't need refactoring right now.

A notification should be also added when bulk editing issues. Sending a notification for each modified issue would be insane and pretty slow.

Bulk edits already send one email per issue:

# app/controllers/issues_controller.rb L252
Mailer.deliver_issue_edit(journal) if journal.details.any? && Setting.notified_events.include?('issue_updated')

• maybe one day, we'd like to display the name of the users that were notified (eg. in the flash message). How to retrieve it from the observer?

Would that be the responsibility of the Observer, the Mailer, or the Controller though?
