(Get the code!)
Kristina,
Sorry, I misspoke. I meant to say "it means that if you add a page to your watchlist, and the page owner then revokes your view access to that page".
Since I can't edit Launchpad comments, I'll just repost it with the correction, so it'll be clearer:
So, on further investigation, the watchlist activity has code in it which checks that each person has permission to view the item, and removes it from their watchlist if they don't.
This is a little strange, because it means that if you add a page to your watchlist and the page owner then removes your view access to the page, it remains on your watchlist until they make a change to the page's contents. It also doesn't support the new feedback-watchlist notifications... because I didn't add code for that when I was writing it. :)
We should probably just make a cron task to clear away invalid watchlist items.
But this patch is still good, to prevent people from manipulating their watchlist in order to find out page titles and such.
