FWIW, I don't think this helps all that much for the cases when the 
IESG is the bottleneck; however, I'm assuming that:

  - each AD regularly monitors his/hers I-D tracker pile
  - each AD regularly checks out the exceptions [0] to figure out if
    he/she missed something

[0] http://rtg.ietf.org:8080/Test/tracker_exceptions

If these assumptions hold, sending mails won't help.

On the other hand, the notifications might be very helpful for cases 
where the ball is believed to be at the authors/WG's feet, and AD 
would need to find time to ping those folks (and now the system does 
that automatically).
