In my opinion notifications should *not* be sent to the originator of
the change request. We had too many complaints about too many
notifications. Those wishing to receive notifications of their own
changes can easily achieve that by putting an alias mailbox into their
notification attributes.
Note also that this smartness quite consciously introduces less
'security' because it allows someone to make clandestine changes by
forging his From:-address to avoid notification. We did this because
those with really high security requirements shoud use maintainers with
a stronger authentication menthod.
