Comment (by tazotodua):

 Guys, I dont agree with you.

 When I commit any stupid/minor change to SVN, i automatically get emails
 (i have never OPTED TO GET EMAILS WHEN I COMMIT CHANGES, NOT I HAVE OPTION
 TO OPT OUT!!! SURPRISINGLY!)   and if that really useless/unimportant
 commits are emailed (without letting us to disable them),
 Why the MOST CRITICAL AND IMPORTANT THING (while people submit support
 tickets into our plugins and discloses bugs) are not automatically
 notified to plugin-authors..

 do you know how many plugin authors know what you have said ("Subscribe
 button" or "rss feed") ??
 maybe 20%...

 and thats why, if you look through the plugins' support forums, most
 plugin-authors dont even answer during first 6-12 months after opening the
 topic.

 you cant imagine, how that simple thing causes to dipp the overall PLUGINS
 DEVELOPMENT.

 so, my robust vote is that plugins authors should be auto-subscribed
 (without need to click that button), instead, if they want to Unsubscribe,
 then they can click that button to Unsubscribe.
