Will we get notified when our nominations got re-reviewed by Niantic?
Based on this sentence
Firstly, any nomination that was rejected between May 19 - May 24 will be re-evaluated by Niantic, in case the rejection was incorrect and the result of the impact of a bug. Additionally, any location edits submitted prior to the implementation of the 25m limit last summer will be removed from the queue for Niantic review.
Niantic told us that all of the rejected nominations between a specific period will get re-reviewed.
My question now: Will we get a notification when this happened with our nominations?
I am currently only missing one POI for finishing a full area. This nomination got rejected in the "issue period" and should get re-reviewed by Niantic. However, I don't know whether you get a notification about the result. Maybe a Niantic mod can clarify this. Would be bad to wait and wait and wait and not knowing what happened with your nomination.

Doubtful. Back in November, Niantic said they'd re-review everything that had been rejected with "Generic Business" (a rejection code that was active for about a year). Not a word since.
Did they really claim that they would review everything rejected as "Generic Business"?
I think that their statement was more along reviewing how "Generic business" was being used and that led to the removal of that rejection reason.
While this is a big effort, we are already working on reviewing past rejections starting with the Generic Business category. Keep an eye on the forum for updates on other efforts related to this initiative.
From the November AMA.
But that doesn't mean that they will re-evaluate everything rejected, as almost every nomination had always the "generic business" included in the rejection reasons.
They took a look and reviewed some nominations, they saw lots of crappy nominations but the rejection reason was wrong so they removed "generic business" and moved along.
This time it's different as they have to review only the rejections between two specific dates, so it's doable.
Now July, no update from a NIA mod.
I have a nomination (a softball field) both upgraded and immediately rejected in that period, and it still shows rejected. On top of that, I didn't get an email about it being rejected, just happened to login after the fact and see it.
I do believe that I got credited for the upgrade from what I can see. But the one that got upgraded when I was credited has now been sitting for over a month with no decision.
Would really be nice if they could figure out a less convoluted system overall, if only to make notifications more meaningful and a realistic process for situations like this.
