Your description of where to click is very clear, even to someone like 
myself who'd never ever think to click on some unlabelled and 
uninformative icon - thanks!

Hmm, that Notifications page is not exactly clear. Apparently I'm a 
member of the Group GNOME and the Project GIMP. So I did the following:

* Set Global notifications to "On mention" and checked the box to 
"Receive notifications about your own activity", so hopefully this will 
apply to all GNOME Projects other than GIMP, and will only result in 
emails if I actually ever file a bug report with a GNOME Project other 
than GIMP.

* Set the GIMP "Project" notifications to "Watch", in the hopes that 
this is equivalent to the settings I had on Bugzilla, where I got copies 
of all GIMP bug report comments, closings, etc.

Hopefully the above settings won't result in a total flood of unwanted 
emails!

Regarding Custom notification settings, the descriptions of the various 
options are as clear as mud. Is there a link to actually understandable 
explanations of the available custom options? Or a list of recommended 
options to check?

Best,
