@Jab2870 no progress as of yet, and not too likely to be considered soon due to the low desire compared to the components that would need to be added and maintained.

I'm going to go ahead and close this off since it has such little desire while complicating authentication systems.
I've really desired I can think of a couple of workarounds:

Use webhooks , listening to registration events, to trigger a communication to an admin/team.
Use our logical theme system to run custom logic on the auth_register event.
