Gitea should allow people to fully watch as notifications any of the actions that are available to webhooks. Since webhooks can post every time there is a push to a branch (regardless of any PR or which branch), users should have the option to receive email notifications (or better, choose whether only to see notifications on the website or also via email).

In my case, I was collaborating with someone on a branch that we do not plan to merge to main, so there's no PR. I missed that my partner made changes because I received no notifications when he did. The workaround is to open a PR that we will never merge.

Please provide the option to get notifications of commits and other activity, anything that webhooks can do, notifications should have the option for as well.

I was looking for this as well. It could be an advanced "watch" that offers the same options that webhooks have.

That's exactly what I was looking for.
The possibility of being able to decide what actions (especially push to any branch) a user gets notificated for would be great.

We have a guy doing customer documentation when a project is finished. He collects all the data he needs and starts his work. Sometimes there are last-minute changes he may miss without getting notifications after starting his work on that project.
