Notifications

Just tested how notifications works.
I think it' s little weird to recieve notifications about your own actions.

I.e. when I assign notice to someone - I wish monitor this notice and recive notification if someone update it.
But I do not need notification if I update this notice myself...
It just spams my mailbox and distracts from other user actions.

And secondary - It will be nice to see who updated/assign notice already in notification. Not just 'notice was updated', by 'MegaDeveloper updated notice BGN-12343". Just usefull information, as I think.

Both good ideas, I will add them to the list of improvements.

Re: Notifications

One more issue with notifications.

In our workflow, in most cases, only 2 people are interested in notifications about issue - reporter and assignee.

When notice is created all is nice - these 2 peoples are automatically added to notifications list.

But after re-assign issue to another user, notifications list is not changed - i.e. old assignee (who is not interested in this particular issue anymore) still recieve notifications, but new assignee (who now interested in it) - do not recieve them.
Of course, thay can manually add/remove notifications, but you know, nobody wish to do any additional actions :)

I suppose it will be nice to send notifications to new assignee instead of old one, but with BugNet notifications list where anybody can subscribe/unsubscribe it's not too clear thing...

But still I think reporter/assignee is primary pair to recieve notifications in project and notifications must autoatically handle re-assign too, in some way.
