Description
As the site admin, I would like to receive an email to notify me that a course has been requested so I know to look at the pending requests.
Ours is a small site, and I do not routinely go to the course creation page where I would see the message that a request was made.
The email does not need to include any details - a simple statement that a request has been made, so I know that I should deal with it.

Tim and Petr, thanks a lot for fixing this issue 
It's now noted in the documentation:

http://docs.moodle.org/en/Moodle_1.9.4_release_notes I think the multi-select box for course notification is great! It's really clever that only relevant users are listed.
A Nobody option would be helpful for people like me who don't know about CTRL+click. Alternatively, the following text could be added to the lang string:
Multiple users may be selected/deselected by holding down the Apple or Ctrl key whilst clicking on the users' names.
+1 for a multi-select box for notifyloginfailures. I can't find any other admin settings which would benefit from the same treatment.

the username is not unique user identifier, we have to use userid or username+mnethostid 
going to switch to list of user ids in 2.0

This is the code I added to /admin/cron.php, just after the language cache is checked (so the course request check will be done every time the cron job is run). I've hard-coded the strings, so you might want to change it a bit and add it to a language file:
mtrace("Checking course creation requests");
if ($pending = get_records("course_request")) { $admin = get_admin(); $subject = "Course requests pending approval"; $messagetext = "Course requests have been submitted for approval. Please check pending.html."; email_to_user($admin,$admin,$subject,$messagetext); }
mtrace("Course requests checked");
