+1. FWIW, what I usually do is " vote abstain subscribe". The subcribe
part is optional, I only specify it to make it clear that I'm not really
voting, I just want to get mail.

But having an easy way of subscribing would be much better, since I
don't think most people know how to subscribe to code reviews.

As mentioned before (I remember having this discussion before), the
subscription doesn't have to be tied to the MP itself. Providing an easy
way of subscribing to the source branch would be enough. That way, the
DB model stays the same.
