How about using RSS?  http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/RSSFeeds
PmWiki's RSS implementation allows users to build custom lists of
things to be watched.

We haven't done a subscription system yet because of issues with keeping 
email addresses confidential.  See http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PITS/00291 .
However, as you note, it becomes much easier once we have a user account
system in place (PITS 00010).
