I don't know if we'd need or want this on SO, since (as I said in your post which turned out to be a dup) I've yet to see a question on SO close without at least one comment indicating that it might happen. That being said, it may make sense on SE 2.0 sites where questions can be closed while crickets chirp. I suggest linking to your recently closed question you used as an example in this answer as well.

@TimPost: I've yet to see a question on SO close without at least one comment indicating that it might happen. – I know, this is almost four years old, but here you go.

-1 for the opt-in proposal. In my opinion getting notified about everything that happens to your question except it getting closed makes absolutely no sense. Also: while a question getting closed without a comment might be rare it happens. example

Atwood actually said "special magic notification"? That's a saucy one there. I'm guessing he didn't grow up on a farm.
