 (otherwise, at-since will be getting emails)

 >  * Avoid sending you a mentions email if you've already specifically
 blocked the thread

 All of this is done. Also, see #832 for Slack-related goodies.

 Mentions are on and working for the following Tracs: Core, Meta, bbPress,
 BuddyPress, GlotPress. So, all of the ones that actually get used.

 just start renaming user logins to match their nicenames as needed)

 Based on my reading of the .org mentions code, usernames with capital
 letters are OK. There have been 14 users with an '@' who have been active
 on Trac in the past 18 months, and another few dozen who have spaces in
 their names. Those users will have some problems, and already do elsewhere
 on .org.
