I think it's a reasonable tool for moderators/maintainers/owners, especially because there's already the capacity to subscribe to all comments in a community for maintainers (is that available to moderators too?) and depending on one's email client, one can set up email filters to flag the notifications that involve that user and give lower priority to notifications from other users.

I have an excellent set of filters/rules on my mail server, but it would be good not to overload either my servers or LJ's with loads of notifications which are simply going to be thrown away. And I'll bet lots of community moderators are using email systems which aren't quite as capable as mine.

(I don't have any communities for which I'm moderator-but-not-maintainer, so I can't check.) I suspect the notify-on-any-comment thing might not be available to unpaid moderators of unpaid communities -- there's an "upgrade" link on the track page.
