Thanks for the links Alex. The ticket blocks FE-NEEDSPONSOR, so I will
need a promotion first. I have asked on the ticket if he is still
interested in continuing the review.

As Matěj points out, it would seem that Frysk still needs it.

I would would very much like to use java-gnome's libnotify API for a
proprietary app and this got me thinking, why isn't OpenJDK's
java.awt.SystemTray and java.awt.TrayIcon API implemented using
libnotify?

I don't mean to be rude to whoever wrote the current
java.awt.SystemTray and java.awt.TrayIcon implementations for X, but
it isn't at all integrated into the default desktop's look and feel
and presumably looks just as bad in KDE.
