Subscribing to merge proposal (from "+merge")

[Daniel Hahler]

It looks like you cannot subscribe to merge proposals (e.g. [1]), but are only subscribed implicitly via source branches (e.g. [2]).

I would like to subscribe to just the merge proposal to get notified of any changes to the proposal (e.g. when it gets merged or a new comment gets added).

USE CASE: having left a comment/question on the proposal and wanting to get notified about answers/status.

You also get notified if you are subscribed to the target branch.

Subscriptions to merge proposals were vetoed initially due to the short
lifecycle of a proposal. At least that was the argument at the time.

This is about the 5th dupe of this bug so I think we could change it.

Possibly people could subscribe to the source branch, but I think they
actually want to follow just the discussion.

It might be good enough already to provide a link to the source (or target) branch subscription (e.g. https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~spiv/bzr-builder/merge-subdirs-479705/+edit-subscription), defaulting to a less verbose setting than "mail on all changes".
