Summary	0008558: SOAP API needs ability to Monitor a Task
Description	Using the Mylyn-Mantis connector, we would like to have the ability to allow a user to select to Monitor a Task within the Mylyn Editor itself. To do this, we need a set of APIs that allow for the following: Viewing a list of users that are monitoring a particular issue. Allowing user to Monitor an issue (with duplicate checking to make sure they aren't already monitoring the topic). Allow for a user to Stop Monitoring an issue.
Tags	No tags attached.

I don't have the code handy now, but following are some thoughts: We should probably return the list of users monitoring an issue as part of getting issue information. We should provide a way for the logged in user to add/remove possibly another user to the monitor list. The API should internally handle the duplicate case. This should not be done in the SOAP API but in the core API. kingargyle, I would be happy to review this once you have a patch for it.
