It would be cool if there was a button on a job's summary screen that you could click to Watch the issue, so you were notified when certain changes happened instead of having to configure the job and add yourself to the email list.
Could even take it one step further and under the user's options, allow them to set default Watch options.
[JENKINS-18567] Add Watch button to Job summary screen
Since I'm am reusing the UI for the trigger setup, the selection of recipients is still there, but only the person who is setting up the trigger will be emailed. If there is no authentication, how would the plugin know who to send the email to? The user would be Anonymous without login. The feature requires authentication in order to work.
My idea was to allow subscribe yourself, not allow somebody to configure job's notifications.
If you are anonymous, then doesn't allow to subscribe. (developers, recipient list, culprits...) - should not be available here.
You don't configure the job's notifications, it only subscribes you. If you are anonymous, then it doesn't allow you to watch a job. I don't want to have a separate UI for this vs. the normal configuration. so maybe I can set some variable to remove those items in the watch area.
Code changed in jenkins

added a comment - I've enabled the option in system configuration, but can't find any Watch option on the project page in Jenkins. And there is no documentation for this feature on the main help page for this plugin. Only cursory mention of it in the revision history.

added a comment - Never mind. I found it where I didn't expect it. It's not in the main navigation on the top left, but you'll find it when you scroll down the categories in the job summary itself. I was looking at a multi-job so had to scroll down below the display of job status.
There still should have been some documentation added for the feature.

I have try this feature and it was good. But I don't understand why when I add a trigger on "Watch Job", I have the choice of who I would send a mail (developers, recipient list, culprits...). I think that is not usefull and this feature would just add me as receiver list.
Doesn't work, if we have no authentification on jenkins (exemple, a test instance).
