"Edit all of your subscriptions" oversells what the page does

[Matthew Revell]

Despite reading the LEP and the feature review notes, I expected "Edit all of your subscriptions" to give me a page with *all* of my bug subscriptions in Launchpad. I wondered why such a useful link didn't appear on https://bugs.launchpad.net/+me

Clicking the link made me realise that it would actually show me all subscriptions related to the bug from whose page I'd clicked it.

It seems to do the same job as "Edit bug mail" on a project or other overview page ... i.e. it takes me to the +subscriptions page for that context.

This is what I understand of what's going on. In the context of a project, +subscriptions shows me all subscriptions I have to that project. In the context of an individual bug, +subscriptions shows me all subscriptions that might generate email about that bug. Is that right?

So, I kinda understand the reason for using different wording but "Edit all of your subscriptions" should really be something like, "Edit subscriptions related to bug XXXX" or "Edit bug mail for bug XXXX".

I didn't mention the bug number in the message because there are many
ways of getting a notification about a bug besides being subscribed to
the bug itself.

In the linked branch I changed the message to "Edit bug mail". The same
message is used to lead the user to the equivalent page on a bug target,
so it seemed like a good choice.

I would like us to standardize our terminology some though. We make
references to "bug mail", "subscriptions", and "notifications" in
various places. I doubt users are interested in any of the subtleties
these phrases convey. If any persons endued with the powers of UI
design agree, feel free to create a bug.
