I don't think voting is appropriate (FOSS is not a democracy but a
meritocracy).

The GNOME designers can be contacted in #gnome-design though, and they
tend to listen to people presenting them constructive criticism or
politely suggesting alternatives.

You might want to get familiar with the goals of the notification system
as designed first, so that you can suggest alternatives that actually
solve the desired issues:
