Ignore Subscriptions

Indirect subscribers to bugs sometimes want to stop receiving mail for that bug. To facilitate that, direct subscriptions will be extended to include a notion of 'ignore' subscriptions, which explicitly mark the user for not receiving mail pertaining to a bug.

User Interface

• On the bug page, next to subscribe / unsubscribe, add a block / unblock this bug option.
  • If the user is subscribed to the bug, their subscription is converted to ignore.
  • If the user is not subscribed to the bug, an ignore subscription is created for them.
• If and when we have a user subscriptions page, we should allow to view and edit ignore subscriptions from there too.

Schema Changes

• Add a column, BugSubscription.ignore, BOOLEAN, defaults to FALSE.

Code Changes

• Extend IBugSubscription and BugSubscription with the ignore field.

• Change Bug.getDirectSubscriptions and Bug.getDirectSubscribers so that they ignore subscriptions with the ignore flag set.
• Instead using straight join for Bug.subscriptions, turn it into a property that ignores subscriptions with the ignore flag set.
  • That should take care of bug privacy too, but make sure.
• Add a property Bug.ignore_subscriptions.
• Extend Bug.getIndirectSubscribers so that it substracts the set of ignore subscriptions from the the set of indirect subscribers.
• Add the action link for block/unblock
• Add a confirmation form for blocking / unblocking.
