Perhaps the easiest place to start with this sort of opt-in ignoring would be in discussions; thus I filed a request for a Flow feature https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69404 : "preference to ignore comments from specific users ("killfile")". Thank you for the idea, svetlana.

Use-case: someone is being annoying, but is willing to ignore me voluntarily on-wiki.
Are there any software tools which may assist them in this where doing so is O.K. (such as not showing my edits in review queue where a page defaults to old stable version anyway, hiding my edits from recent changes and watchlists, etc)?
In such cases there is a potential that I do some harm behind their closed eyes (such as malicious edits) so there needs to be a fine line where the target user is, for example, a reviewer.
I searched on the web but I couldn't find past related software, documentation, or discussions.
