Notify only developers involved in an MR
Problem to solve
For a busy repository, developers will be emailed for almost every merge request activity, causing significant noise. This masks notifications on activities that require an action, like merge request approvals. The delta between "watch" and "participate"/"mention" seems to be too large for this to be useful.
Intended users
Software developers, possibly Team leads.
Further details
In monorepo-style workflows, all commits and changes are pushed to one large repository with plenty of traffic. The number of MRs open per day/are in flight at any one time can be very large.
Proposal
Add a new notification event for "requiring approval" so that when a MR requires my approval, I get an email, even if I'm not watching every single activity.
