Perhaps if any change is needed, we could just get rid of the 'flag out of date' button and remove the possibility to unsubscribe from comments. This way comments would be the unified mechanism of informing a maintainer that there attention is needed.
Totally disagree. I always go to "My Packages" page to see if there's anything to take care of. That's because packages flagged out-of-date are red, which is awesome. Doing `for p in packages; do read latest comment done` manually doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
I think it's ok for maintainers to opt out in case there's too much discussion in the comments, but at least they should receive a daily digest by default which they shouldn't be optional.
The maintainer has to care about the discussion about their package. "Disable notifications" should point to "Disown package". <trollface/>
