Comment:

 I like the fact that this whole piece of functionality, including the
 checkbox and the email itself, is linked to one action.

 @imath Is there any protection here against sending multiple emails if a
 comment is approved, unapproved, and approved a second time? I think in
 that case the email should only ever be sent once.

 This will need a dedicated dev note. **tl;dr** a plugin that provides this
 functionality itself and wishes to disable core's functionality (to avoid
 duplicate emails) needs to call `remove_action(
 'comment_unapproved_to_approved', 'wp_new_comment_notify_comment_author'
 )`.
