We do have this with check.mageia.org, based on youri.

Now, if you want to create a notification system for that, feel free.
The software can be found on ouri.zarb.og, the documentation is minimal,
this is perl. You can however get test result in txt format, html, or
anything, and thus a tool to send notification ( and more important, a
tool to configure notification ) can be constructed upon that.
