## Description

**As** a user  
**I want to** be able to choose, if I want to be added as watcher each time I create a work package  
**so that** I can actually only watch work packages relevant to me and I do not need to unwatch them each time I create a work package.

**Acceptance criteria**

  - Add configuration, e.g as checkbox, to user profile: "Make me watcher of all new work packages I create".
  - Only make me watcher of work packages I create, if configuration is set.
  - If configuration is not set, I am not added as watcher to work packages I create.
