Bug Description
When a developer goes on holiday it would be useful to have a "Holiday mode" and turns off email-sending to that user's email addresses and allows them not to have a flooded inbox on return.
This mode could also display "(Holiday)" or a less intrusive icon after the user's name to show that they aren't around and able to respond.
This mode should probably still allow through admin emails from launchpad.
Another use-case for this is to allow users to go dormant for a period of time but without losing all the meta-data and subscriptions that would result from deleting an account:
< xxxx > I'm thinking about leaving ubuntu's world for a while, apart deactivating my launchpad account, what should I do ?
< sladen > you shouldn't need to deactivate your launchpad account
< sladen > but it would be handy to have a "Holiday setting" that stopped emails being generated
< persia > pef: Just let your account lie dormant. If you ever like, you can recover it, and if not, it doesn't take much space on the server. You probably want to unsubscribe from all your bugs, and transition any packages.

The team mailing list feature <https:/ /blueprints. launchpad. net/launchpad/ +spec/team- mailing- lists> may implement vacation/holiday settings, so I'm assigning this wishlist item to myself.
