Jira feature improvements

I’ll add this to Atlassian’s Jira when I have a moment… I think some are on there already,  but some things have been praying on my mind:

1. You need to be able to “Send this portlet” to another user, and have it send them the required filter also if it is not a global shared filter.
2. They really need email announcements when versions are released, and allow users to “watch” projects to receive these emails.
3. Users should be able to choose only the projects they are concerned with. For example on jira.codehaus.org there are loads of projects and as a “privileged” user there I can see all of them, but that sucks. True this could be done with permissions but that means 1 permission scheme per project, and even then I might work on only 5 projects today, but a couple more next week. The project pop ups are therefore extremely overloaded for me.
