Thanks for sharing this, it's really exciting to see this kind of
thing finally being put in place.  I've taken a brief look and I see
the bits you describe here, but I'm wondering if there's a place I can
go to create global settings without having to find individual bugs.
For example, I get a bunch of LAZR-related bug mail which I would
prefer not to receive.  Do I have to find a LAZR-related bug and click
'Edit bug mail' or is there somewhere I can go that will show me all
my sources of mail and let me edit them in one place (a bit like how
mailing lists are managed, for example)...?

Thanks,
J.
