I think it would be best to use pieces of WatchlistPlugin's or merge it into this plugin. The Watchlist set up there is pretty looking, it'd just be a matter of centralizing all the other options (that usually reside in the user's preferences) onto that one page so everything's in one spot. What do you think?

Exactly what I'm thinking. I use the WatchlistPlugin and would never try to reinvent it. Actually I see it as a nice Announcer extension for managing Trac items individually.

Bringing other Announcer user preferences there is more a matter of taste and could even overcrowd the watchlist page. Maybe a link to preferences would suffice? But let's discuss that, if you'd like.

I installed AnnouncerPlugin (0.11 version) and WatchlistPlugin yesterday.

Set the context navigation options for AnnouncerPlugin to empty + configured the watchlist plugin according to spec.

Then I noticed that when I press "Notify me" on a wiki page (presumably it would be the same on a ticket page", the wiki page was not listed in the /watchlist overview. Looking at the watchlist plugin's code I saw that just a notification, does not make the neccessary database entries.

Also, there is no submit button on the /watchlist page, so the checkboxes in the Notification column appeared pretty useless in a dynamic sense...

From a programming POV, duplicating the subscription table entries in the watchlist tables seems undesirable.

So, I come to the conclusion that either the watchlist plugin should learn something more about the announcer plugin, or the announcer plugin should just have a way to display and bulk-manage the list of watchers itself.

I'd prefer the latter solution, as I see no other use for the watchlist plugin in my setup, right now.

This is rather an enhancement or a task.

Despite of bof's comment I'd prefer to not duplicate the WatchlistPlugin web-UI. Let's see, what we can do. But I do recognize, that centralized subscription management for watched documents is a rather critical point in terms of usability here.
