Probably not. That feature is about separating the concept of
reviewers from committers, in the sense that maybe not all committers
may care enough to triage/manage merge-requests. Now, as the
new-merge-request-emails only go to those with review permissions it
can be used to handle the notifications a bit better, but it's
obviously not neither a final nor adequate solution to getting
relevant notification. That's another feature we're reworking now;
allowing users to select what to "watch" rather than getting it pumped
into their inbox.
