Subject: [PATCH] [issue tracker] Email watchers when issue is updated or
 created (#8248)

When people are added to the watchers list, they do not receive a notification email upon creation/update of the issue. This fixes the bug and allows notification to be sent to watchers when an issue is created/updated.
