It's hidden from the settings UI by default in new installs. Looks like it
is still there as an option to enable, but I really do think it's kind of a
trap.

If the category watch thing doesn't work for you (and others) for some
reason, I can re-consider. If so, I might rename it to "email me everything
that isn't muted" instead of "mailing list mode", though....

That will at least keep you from getting thousands of Copr posts. :)

In that case, subscribing by category should do the trick. Categories are
not light-weight, so we're unlikely to create new ones without fanfare. It's
not just one checkbox, but there are only a handful of main ones anyway.
