Description

### The feature request

For quite a while now, I've been thinking about the issues we have in our organization with people not being aware of important status changes in pull requests, like:
* An approval of my pull request
* A new pull request that I am a reviewer for
* A new pull request that has an "attn" marker for me
* A new pull request that has an "attn" marker for a team I am a member of
* A new comment in a conversation in any pull request in the set of pull requests defined in the previous sets

I was able to produce a prototype of this application in Flutter, but Flutter is very new to me. I'm sure I could eventually manage it, but it will be a bit of a struggle for a while. The application has a small set of other features, like "hiding" PRs that are not of particular interest right now, and an action in the PR entry and PR conversation entry to visit it in the browser.

However, today I noticed the existence of Github Desktop. I noticed one sentence somewhere in the docs that mentioned "notifications". I can't find that now, and I can't even find that word anywhere in the Github Desktop docs.

Is functionality like this planned at some point?
