Wow, good catch!

The patch is totally correct but the suspected cause is not. I think
thus is a regression introduced by f3b4c5c (Refactor the notification
script, 2018-05-17) where some of the parameters where accidentally
pushed around.

It is a shame that our test suite did not catch this but looking at the
tests...

    "$NOTIFY" adopt 1 1 &&
    [...]
    "$NOTIFY" comaintainer-add 1 1 &&
    [...]
    "$NOTIFY" comaintainer-remove 1 1 &&

... it is not much of a surprise either. Maybe we should try to make
each parameter unique? I also realized that we don't seem to test disown
notifications at all!

I will add a reference to f3b4c5c (Refactor the notification script,
2018-05-17) to the commit message, merge to pu and patch our live setup
in a minute.

Thanks!

Best regards,
Lukas
