You can subscribe to a search for your own name, but that's been the case
since V1.

The issues list has something like what you are referring to where it
notifies the person an issue is assigned to rather than alerting them to all
issues.

Other than that I can't think of another way in which you could have an
alert to only 'your' stuff
