I don’t have an opinion one way or another here, but I can offer a workaround. Create a Gmail filter for mail your Discourse site with the subject `tobiaseigen assigned you to` and have the email automatically deleted. I do exactly that for email I get here on Meta - our ticket system uses PMs which creates lots of emails. Here’s the filter I use, and what my trash looks like (that would be my inbox if I didn’t delete them):
