A mention system makes sense as a plugin since not every site needs/wants such a thing, but features like an alerts system where it's a common feature useful to pretty much every single site should be core.

Strongly disagree. You've come halfway. Build the mention system into the alert system, and be done with it.

Problem is that there are many different opinions on how a mention system should be implemented. People can't even agree on one style of markup for writing mentions.

The poll numbers speak for themselves. As far as the style of markup goes, can you go more into detail on this? Maybe create a new thread for this subject?
