I think it’s pretty conceptually simple to map the notification levels to:

- mute → ZERO notifications, off
- normal → the default
- track → “more” notifications
- watch → MAXIMUM notifications

I fail to see what’s difficult about that. ZERO and MAXIMUM are kind of self explanatory. So the only subtletly would be watch vs track, which boils down to:

> Notify me for every single reply, regardless of whether it was a reply to me

and again.. not hard to grok.
