Implementation idea: send mails about the progress, and when certain steps have finished, and when finally finished. The mail address is known, since the developer is known.
It already sends a mail when the instance creation has finished.
(In reply to comment #1) > It already sends a mail when the instance creation has finished. I did *not* receive any mail about the progress of the instance generation which I started as a logged-in labsconsole user with confirmed e-mail address. "Your e-mail address was authenticated on 21 February 2013 at 01:05."
Interesting, this is what I received a few days back: Subject: Your instance is ready to be logged into. The following instance has been created, and is ready to be logged into: webtools-login

Perhaps a glitch in the system, if you think, it's in, but did not work in my case, i will modifiy the title.
We have something in puppet that's supposed to send a mail, but it often doesn't work because a puppet run isn't 100% successful on the first run. However, we now have echo support for create, reboot and delete actions. For the create and reboot actions we need to add reactor support to our saltstack configuration.

So I filed this bug without (then) knowing that it was already implemented, but perhaps - from my perspective - failed. That's why I filed it. Can be now used for tracking problems around this feature.
We're now doing this with echo notifications and it is working reliably.
