Taxonomy, Cladistics, and iNaturalist

[upupa-epops]

That feature request lists some options, with the default being the same as who gets dashboard alerts for taxon changes which I believe is everyone with an observation of the taxon. This is just about who gets a notification (awareness to be able to comment) not voting, creating a voting system would be another complicated question.

@thomaseverest

When a taxon change is drafted, send a notification to all users who would receive a notification if the change was committed. …

Other possibilities to make this request more complicated:

• Only the top IDers and/or observers (3, 5, 10) could be notified. I think at least IDers should be notified.
• Curators could be given the option to send a notification on the draft.
• Curators could choose who to send the notification to (top IDers, top observers, etc.).
• Notify users associated with output taxa as well (i.e. people associated with split outputs but not inputs that wouldn’t get the notification otherwise).
