In my opinion, one of the most important functions of following a question should be to notify users its status updates. For example, say I encountered a question in the close vote review queue that I think doesn't warrant a closure. Although I can vote to leave it open, it is very likely that the question has already accrued 3-4 close votes leaving it on the verge of getting closed. If following a question sends notification to users about its status updates, I can vote to reopen the question as soon as it gets closed, and vice versa. Could this suggestion be implemented?

4$\begingroup$ This post on Meta Stack Exchange is marked status-planned: Send authors an inbox message if their question is closed. It is about notifying the OP - so it is different from your request. Still, following the post give notifications similar to the ones that are sent to the OP. $\endgroup$ – Martin Sleziak Jun 30 at 15:19

1$\begingroup$ @MartinSleziak Thanks for the link. I completely missed the fact that even the OP does not receive notifications about their own question. Hope they implement it soon! $\endgroup$ – YuiTo Cheng Jun 30 at 15:24

1$\begingroup$ I see that yo have offered a bounty on the question about notifications to the OP: meta.stackexchange.com/posts/93842/revisions meta.stackexchange.com/posts/93842/timeline - we'll see whether this will lead to some response. $\endgroup$ – Martin Sleziak Jul 4 at 7:39
