This is taking WAY longer than I was hoping for, but it is in progress:
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-58

(/me gets out cattle prod again)

It's actually our fault that JIRA's not set up this way; we're trying to
tie it to our auth system.  However, if JIRA had this feature, we'd use
it instead and flip the switch:
http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-3619

We're a little nervous about just trusting that people enter their email
without validation coming from somewhere.

Email from wiki works.  You have to both enter your email in your
profile, and validate it from the profile (there's a button for sending
the validation mail).  Once you do that, you get emails any time a page
on your watchlist changes.  It's pretty smart about notifications; you
only get one notification per page until you revisit the page, which
sets the watch trigger again.
