Todo preferences
Problem to solve
I use Todos to organize and follow activity that I'm involved with. However, the problem is that I only get a Todo if I'm @
mentioned, and a lot of times, people don't do that, so if I don't hear back from someone that I @
mentioned in an issue or MR for a while, I remind myself to go check it (if I remember) to see if they've responded. On top of that, I like to see the activity of the issues and MRs I'm involved with anyways, there is usually pertinent information in a comment that I don't see because I don't get a notification for it.
I'm not someone who can turn email notifications on. I've missed important emails due to my email inbox being flooded with email notifications from issues and MRs, even if my settings are at a very minimal setting. Being that I don't use email notifications, I'd like to have Todos be a bit more flexible as to what they will show me. I'd like to have Todos be a place where I see not only my @
mentions, but also activity from others who are involved in issues and MRs that I'm involved in, so I never miss a response or important comment.

Proposal
Settings, like we have for notifications, but for Todos. The options could be:
- Issues and MRs I'm mentioned in
- Issues and MRs I'm assigned to
- etc.
