Sounds much simpler, awesome! +1

I quite like this feature and have set up filter rules in my email client for the resulting redmine notifications I receive so I don't miss them. However, I wonder how this works out if you don't do something like that. I also fear that the ad hoc tracking of "mentions" that you propose above is easy to forget.

I just had a half-baked idea that might have some merit: say I work on ticket X and need info about "foo" from intrigeri. Then I just create a subticket Y of X called "Info needed: foo" and assign it to intri. When intri has posted the information about "foo" to X he can then mark Y as resolved.

Cheers!
