@Mattfkaschen, when you say:

Some of these seem overly strict

You are, I assume, speaking about the "Flow user locators"? Where would I see those rules?

I don't know if they're documented anywhere. The code is somewhat understandable, but someone should actually document it on-wiki, if it's not already.

This is the list of who currently gets which notification:

flow-new-topic:

• users watching the board
• owner of the user talk page

flow-post-reply:

• users watching the topic
• owner of the user talk page

flow-post-edited:

• post author
• owner of the user talk page

flow-topic-renamed:

• topic author
• owner of the user talk page

flow-mention:

• users that were mentioned (except if they got another notification for this same event)

flow-enabled-on-talkpage:

• owner of the user talk page

flow-mention notifications are only sent when a new post/topic are submitted. We should probably also expact that to post, topic & header edits (if a new user is mentioned after the edit)?

Outcome of the team discussion:

flow-topic-renamed
T125426: When a Flow topic is renamed, notify all watchers of the topic

flow-mention
T125427: Generate flow-mention for create/edit of board desc, topic, post, summary
T125428: Make 'flow-mention' more important than other notifications

flow-board-description-changed
T125429: Create new notification type for when a board description changes

Not discussed: new notification type for topic summary changed? Filed by Matt: T125119: Should get notified for topic summary change on your own user talk
