Could you explain the workflow where this would assist you?

In my mind, you either want to

permantly not get a notification from a notification provider => delete it
temporarily not get notifications from a notification provider => enact a maintenance

Recently I started looking thinking about this myself for my own instance as I'm in the process of switching from one provider to another.

For me at least, I'm thinking the following scenario:
Assume we have an Uptime Kuma instance with 2 existing notification providers set up (e.g. Telegram and Slack)
We'd like to replace one of them for another (e.g. Telegram for Signal)
We'd like to have a test-period where all 3 are up, and after some time another test-period where we disable the one mentioned above while retaining the configuration so that in case it should cause issues, it can be re-enabled, then finally if all is working as expected the notification provider can be disabled.

Since there is already a Apply on all existing monitors, being able to Apply the disabled state to all existing would be a nice addition.

Alternatively, adding an Enabled state to the notification provider itself where if it is disabled, the notification provider is not acted upon at all when a monitor changes state and is not listed in the monitors notifications list.

Hope this makes sense.
