There are some feature requests for this. See:

http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/FeatureRequests/LimitedRecentChanges
http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/FeatureRequests#head-58fb3cc3fc5907e114ab686538a81f4f5b7422d6

I think currently there is a patch for subpages but no patch for Watchlist.
Seems like a popular demand though.

FWIW, I think we shouldn't remove the notification via email. On the other hand,
Toshio, I don't think I'd had a problem not to see who is notified for a change
of mine. I'll even go on and say that this info (who is watching the page) might
be considered "private info" for a user. :)
