Comment (by danielbachhuber):

 > So yeah, it's possible to actually be a reporter and block notifications
 to one of your tickets.

 In my simpleton mind, this could be achievable by auto-starring any
 tickets you open. If you want to unsubscribe, you unstar the ticket.

 Similarly, following a component, milestone, etc. means you'll be auto-
 starred for any new tickets. Unfollow to unstar.

 But, as I've described means less control to the user — favoriting means
 getting email notifications and getting email notifications means
 favoriting. I do understand the desire to potentially favorite a subset of
 those tickets you get email notifications for.

 With this in mind, I think I'd still encourage the act of creating a
 ticket to automatically favorite that ticket. It seems implied that if you
 create a ticket, it will be one of your favorites.

 It would probably also be nice to have a canonical page somewhere for how
 all of the notification behavior works. I suspect this is it:
