> how about if the 'last change' property was linked to the user's notification settings

This is an interesting idea. We could have this configurable in the future when web notifications are implemented.

> Some examples of things I would like to be able to ignore: flag changes that don't involve me (as the setter or the settee), Cc list changes, severity/priority/platform changes, time-tracking fields, and assignee changes that don't involve me (as the old or new assignee).

Yeah, actually most field changes are minor and ignorable. What’s important varies by user, but major changes for everyone are probably only these things:

* A comment is added
* An attachment is added
* The status or resolution is changed

I’ll update my pull request for this bug accordingly.
