+1 to the notification spam. Being @sam on github sucks sometimes. And as far as I can figure out there's no way to set watching/following/notifications to opt-in only.

So every time someone who knows a "Sam" uses @sam incorrectly in an issue I get notified, have to unsubscribe, ignore, and leave a polite message to let them know they're doing it wrong.

It's really lame that they've never fixed this.
