Admin options to manage site watchers

As per the discussion threads in other places (e.g. http://www.wikidot.com/forum/t-130110/email-notifications-aka-watching ) the addition of administrator links would be a much helpful feature.
Watch and un-watch switches should be available to site admins via this module …
Something like:
| View for Admin | View for User3 |
|---|---|
| Who's watching Admin User1 Remove User2 Remove User3 Remove User4 Remove Unwatch: site Watch: category | page Remove all watchers |
Who's watching Admin User1 User2 User3 User4 Unwatch: site Watch: category | page |

Agreed. Would be very helpful. However, being able to change someone's settings from watching a whole site to watching everything except the "sandbox" or "testing" category would be a more specific use-case.
With CSIs, I've been able to move my testing to a private site… with some success. ListPages and other features don't work therefore I can't test properly, but theme changes and other small changes work well on a private site where I just CSI in my home page and other critical pages.

Did anything ever come of this? I have a situation now in which employees that are no longer with us are still watching some of the pages on our Employee Site and I need to remove them as watchers. In all cases I've revoked their access to the site yet they are still watching some pages. It seems to me that if I revoke someone as a member that it should automatically remove them as a watcher of all pages.
I want to reiterate what the Whip is saying. I am having the same problem. I need to get certain people off of certain pages because they are no longer involved. What can we do?
