Ah, people discussing the mute list makes my ears burn! :)  I like this idea
very much, and I've created a JIRA entry for it:
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-1735 (Directly interacting with a
muted resident should unmute them).

I will try to implement this change in an upcoming release of my mute
visibility browser, although the changes to implement VWR-1735 should be
entirely independent of the other mute list changes, so I will be able to
submit a patch for this separately.

I think I will also change the location of the "Mute" pie menu item, to make
it a little more difficult to accidentally mute a resident.
