Description

In catching up on a lot of discussion and updates, it seems that when the "test quota on write" fails it results in a notification to the attempting writer -- so if @kjetilk tries to write to @RubenVerborgh's INBOX and that write would exhaust quota, @kjetilk gets notified -- but @RubenVerborgh does not.

This is troublesome, as @kjetilk's best (and possibly only) way to inform @RubenVerborgh of this problem is via his inbox ... which is full. I think that this is a place where NSS might use @RubenVerborgh's email address to send such a notification without consuming further NSS-quota.

Research direction

Start by locating the Node.js implementation of the "test quota on write" failure and the notification path, then read the linked issue 918 discussion for context. The work is complete when the pod owner is notified of the quota failure without consuming additional quota, while the existing writer notification behavior remains understood and covered.
