I am resolving this task considering we've since decided the initial approach we will take to offering people the ability to manage the way automatic topic subscriptions behave.

This information can be found in the Managing automatic subscription behavior section of T284836:

The setting that controls the channels through which new comment notifications are delivered should continue to be: > Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-echo > Talk page subscription

People should be able to enable/disable being automatically subscribed from all conversations they start and/or comment in within > Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing --> Discussion pages

This setting should only be visible to people who have the Talk page subscription setting enabled. More in T263819#7143367.

This setting should read: Automatically subscribe to topics. / When you start a new discussion or comment in an existing discussion, you will be automatically notified when others post new comments to it.
