Add Email Notification for Comments SD642
Make it so comments on trip reports, blog posts, etc. send an email to the person who posted the trip report so they can respond and have a dialogue about conditions. We'll also need a way to opt out of this email.
Note: If the commenter shared their profile their name is a link that will provide their email address.

We have added new notifications that will email the blog author or trip reporter when a new comment or comment reply has occurred on their trip/blog! This was made possibly by altering our notification rules on the website and did not require any new website development. We ensured documentation was updated so that people are aware of this change and how to disable a discussion if they do not want notifications.

It seems like adding a "team roster" to the Blog Post content type with the blog post author and all commenters added to this roster is a good approach. That way we can allow anyone in the roster to opt out of email notifications (aka "mute the thread"). The email would simply say that a blog post you are following received a comment with the blog post name, link, commentor's name and the comment added.

Do we also need to email commenters and those who reply to comments to get an email too?
What should the email(s) say?
