   > Or does the import API even avoid notifications for those later comments for users that were @ mentioned in comments created by the import API?
   
   That does seem to be the case, yes. User mentions executed added via the import API seem to not affect the issue notification subscriptions. Subsequent comments on the issue where a user was mentioned in import content do not trigger notification; an additional comment mentioning the user is required to subscribe them to notification. This could be accomplished through a two-part process:
   
   1. Import the existing issue content via the import API
   2. Add a comment referencing users who were subscribed the the source issue (author, assignee, watchers).
   
   If we coordinate with GitHub support to suppress notifications during the import process, we may be able to manipulate the notification subscribers via the added comment during a window where no notification will be generated, avoiding excess noise to users.
