Comment:

 Thanks @imath I appreciate you re-instilling some life into this ticket, I
 too feel it would be a great feature.

 Some comments on your outlined approach;
 1. I would prefer to see the opt-in on the comment form itself and not
 introduce an additional step that's easily overlooked by users.

 2. Verbiage of the checkbox can be improved by using 'is' over 'will be';
 `I want to be notified by email when my comment is approved.`

 3. The comment cookie consent checkbox functionality can be updated and
 leveraged to save the users notification preference. If the user opts in
 to the cookies a new cookie `comment_author_notification_{HASH}` can be
 placed to store their notification preference. If this cookie is set and
 true then the notification checkbox would default to checked. If the
 cookie isn't present or is false the notification checkbox would be
 unchecked.

 All the best
