[Feature Request] Ability to notify new replies even if the last post wasn't read about follow-tags HOT 1 OPEN

I have made a hackish solution for notification mails even if user has not read the post.
User will receive mails for all replies on post even if post is not read if "Lurk" has been chosen for the tag.
I include a patch file if somebody else is interested:
obsess.txt

To run the patch file:

• Have this extension installed
• Go to root flarum directory
• Run: patch -p0 <obsess.txt

What is changed is the sql that searches for users in file: SendNotificationWhenReplyIsPosted.php
on line: 62-74
The replacement sql is:

        $notify = User::select('users.*')
            ->where('users.id', '!=', $this->post->user_id)
            ->join('tag_user', 'tag_user.user_id', '=', 'users.id')
            ->whereIn('tag_user.tag_id', $tagIds->all())
            ->whereIn('tag_user.subscription', ['lurk'])
            ->get()
            ->reject(function (User $user) use ($tags) {
                return $tags->map->stateFor($user)->map->subscription->contains('ignore')
                    || !$this->post->isVisibleTo($user);
            });

It starts on this line:
https://github.com/FriendsOfFlarum/follow-tags/blob/master/src/Jobs/SendNotificationWhenReplyIsPosted.php#L62

As I am not a php developer I will not be able create a full change for this feature and add a merge request.
Hope this could be useful to somebody else.
