njn didn't want to call me out as the culprit here, but I'm happy to
own up to it.  :)

I don't feel like it's /always/ important.

On a bug that njn and I are the only ones watching and which gets
landed on m-i over the weekend, it's not at all clear to me that
anyone is hurting for lack of an explicit notification that the bug
was landed on m-i, and it's not clear to me that the utility of the
general rule is somehow weakened by my not following it in that case.

Having said that, I don't think it would be hard to write an hg hook
which comments in the relevant bugs when a push is made to m-i.  Maybe
that would be a reasonable way to get uniformity and immediate
notification in the bug when a patch is pushed to m-i while reducing
process for everyone.

We already automatically notify in #developers when something is
pushed to m-i, and notifying in the bug seems at least as important.

I filed a bug.  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799101
