Only 2 choices proposed: remote attendees, notify attendees. Maybe
adding "keep attendees but no notifications" (though i don't see why
we would propose not notifying...)

attendee receives a notification because of a new / modified event.
This is a bit annoying (not as much for me as for the other
attendees). It is not possible to "uncheck" that the attendees are to
be notified.
One of the original attendees sent a mail to me (from Outlook I
guess) which said that I wanted to notify him about the event. At
http://picpaste.com/event-4gL9jTtr.png I uploaded a screenshot from
the (Outlook) mail from the attendee. Unfortunately it's in German.
(Literally?) translated the bold line says: "Jens Grüntjes wants to
call your attention to 'Sitzung am ?'" I don't know how Outlook makes
a difference between new events and modified events, but it might be a
new event.
Here an excerpt from the kronolith mailing list (2015-11-16 and 2015-11-17):
mrubinsk: It sounds like what you are trying to do is accept/add this
event on your own calendar as if you were one of the original
attendees, but without actually being one.
jens: Yes, that's true. But this also holds if I am an original
attendee and make a copy of an event and put that into a shared
calendar.
mrubinsk: That being said, I could see adding an extra step when the
event being copied still contains attendees - to verify that you
really want to copy the event with the attendees or not.
jens: Yes, that would be really helpful. Maybe something like the
question that shows up when I modify an event with attendees.
Kronolith asks if I want to send the modifications to all attendees
after submitting the modifications.
