Brion, Tim,

We are having a discussion on commons-l about why email notification
of one's own talk page hasn't been enabled for commons.  Can one of
you please respond and let us know if there is a technical or other
reason not to enable it, or can one of you turn it on?

"Brion made statistics last year, and even in en-wiki, there were only
1.500 user-talk-page changes per day, about 80% of it were foreign
changes, which would trigger exactly one e-mail. Thus about 1.200
e-mails per day for en-wiki" (from the earlier bug request)

That was in April, and I don't see any reply as to why it hasn't been
turned on.  I'm gonna BCC Brion and Tim Starling.  Hopefully one of
them can respond.
