Tickets affecting multiple ports and committers & "annoying" commits

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hi,

After some cool features have been enabled on Trac, in particular the
"See:" and "Closes:" syntax that automatically adds a comment, I
wonder what to do with tickets that affect many ports and maintainers.

Examples include tickets like "replace no_x11 with x11", "switch to
perl5.26", ...
    https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39383
etc.

If we subscribe 100 maintainers with 100 ports, each maintainer will
receive an email every time any port gets fixed.

Some time ago we had a volunteer who kept following the commit logs
and modified just his own comment. But now it would be nice to have a
better solution.

Just about the only thing that comes to my mind is a checkbox on each
ticket that stops sending emails on each commit while keeping sending
emails when writing other comments. Not that I particularly like that
option either.

Any ideas?
