🎩 User Story

We'll start with allowing users to follow a proposal, but we should keep in mind that users can follow other entities (like other users, a process, etc), so we have to implement it in a polymorphic, decoupled way.

When some action happens in a proposal we'll create a notification for each of its followers. We'll notify a user via email when a new notification has been created.

Creating the notification and sending the email should be done asynchronously.

As a user I can:

• Have a new notification when someone comments on the proposal
• Have a new notification if the proposal is approved or rejected (depends on https://github.com/AjuntamentdeBarcelona/decidim/issues/419)
