Title:
Subscribe to comments only on posts with specific tags

Area:
comment notifications

Summary:
Allow community administrators (and/or paid users site-wide) to subscribe to posts with specific tags.

Description:
Notifications are, in general, incredibly helpful, especially for community administrators, and the recent expansion of notifications to community-wide comments is a terribly useful enhancement. But sometimes, even as an administrator, you don't need to see every comment posted to the community -- but you do need to see comments on posts with tags related to community administration, for example, or policies or procedures, or even just a specific tag where you can discuss community issues with your fellow mods.

To this end, could we add the ability to subscribe to comments by tag, similarly to how you can currently subscribe to posts by tag, to the tracking options? It could start out, as the "comments on all posts" option did, on the community (admin?)-only level, and if it's neither a server nor financial drain, could possibly ultimately expand to paid users for individual journals (where I could see it being useful for things like comment ficathons, meta posts, people you only share a few fandoms with of many, people you know IRL but don't share fandoms with...the sky's the limit!).
