Feature Description

I think it would be great to have the possibility to manually add a participant to an issue, so that I can involve non-developer people in the discussion of an issue. The need arise because some people in my company should participate in issues, but they refuse to "watch/susbscribe" to a repo/issue. It becomes a liability issue. I know it is my company fault, I know it very well. But I think is a reasonable solution for these type of people.

When a person is added as participant to an issue, they should be automatically subscribed to the notifications of the said issue. They should have the liberty to unsubscribe to the notifications, but they should remain as participant. In this way, there is a soft enforcement on "this is issue involves you and you are a participant of it, so you should have followed it and given your opinion/feedback".

It might be in conflict with assignee. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I view assignee as more developement-oriented, in the sense that they are the one responsible for the fix/implementation of an issue. Maybe there is another way to solve this problem.
