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?

Anyway, I made a bug request that Commons get email notification ( http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7870 ). I also notice there is an open request to enable it on basically all the wikis ( http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5505 - well, if they do it for the "major wikis", I don't understand why they wouldn't do it for all).
"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.
