Can't change self-generated bug notifications preference from bug subscription page

[jidanni]

User reports a bug, e.g.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/midori/+bug/1530669/

User gets an email that he reported the bug.

User thinks "why do I get an email about me myself reporting a bug?
Bugzilla wouldn't do that. Yes I love emails about comments people make
about my bugs, but gosh, I don't need to know about actions I did
myself, because I already know I did them because I did them."

User looks in e.g.,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/midori/+bug/1530669/+subscriptions
to find a way to turn off email notifications about actions he did
himself, but finds none.

There should be a preference, "notify me of (bug) actions I did" off by default.

that's just the wrong place to look.

there is a "Send me bug notifications for changes I make", on by
default (I think) in https://launchpad.net/~/+edit

OK, indeed.

However when the bug mail says
"
To manage notifications about this bug go to:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/1530671/+subscriptions

But there is no additional link "For more settings affecting bug mail, see https://launchpad.net/~/+edit ",
so he will never know!

[jidanni (dan-jacobson)]

So https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/1530671/+subscriptions should mention "see also https://launchpad.net/~/+edit ".
