It doesn't say "you have been subscribed", it says "You have been
requested to review..." There are no subscriptions on individual merge
proposals, which is a design decision.

I suppose we could vary the message depending on whether you've
previously been asked to review, e.g. "You have been requested AGAIN to
review..."?

I don't see how that sort of thing would address your original issue
that the cover letter is stale.

Not possible

This mail would not be sent for that reason. It is only sent because
someone has requested you, in particular, to perform a review.

FWIW, there has been some discussion of making the cover letter an
editable field like a bug description, and that would have allowed vila
to update the cover letter as appropriate. Would that fix this bug?
