Just a reminder that this is still a trouble (at least in Wikipedias). Also, the title is mis-leading and hard to locate. Minor edits are not the issue, the issue is about the major edits. From a user's point of view, It should be better worded like "e-mail notifications of major edits permanently blocked/disabled by a bot edit".
An e-mail notification system that fails to notify many (perhaps majority of) major-edits is, ... a gross malfunction.
