I believe it would be nice to get a notification when someone surrenders so you can accept faster, without having to wait for your turn to play to realize. It's even more the case as some surrendering players will do it instead of playing, so it will take 48 hours before they are skipped...
+1 to this, although I think this was already discussed and someone didn't like the idea - can't remember why though.
I remember we talked a lot about automatic acceptance. Not sure about notifications
