      Hi,

      I use Freestyle projects in Jenkins, and I cannot find a way to add the "requestor" as a default recipient for failure email.  The documentation talks about pipelines and how you can, for example, set recipientProviders to e.g. [developers(), requestors()], but there is no visibility into that from the Freestyle configuration, as far as I can see.  And also, as far as I can see, there is no Token/Macro I can use (e.g. $REQUESTOR) to plug the value into the defaults.

      You can reproduce this issue by having a failing build and manually going to that project and click "Build Now".

      I also see this from a New Pull Request off a New Branch – I'm using the Bitbucket Push/Pull Plugin to integrate into our BB git repositories, and if I go through the standard process of create branch, push updates to branch, create PR... when BBPPP gets Jenkins to build off the PR Create trigger, it "thinks" there are "No Changes" (even though there are) – and if it fails, no email is sent out.
