Ok, recap-ing a bit, adding ow...@bts in the loop directly.

Hi Don, sorry but I had to bring this up again. In my opinion, and it seems it's shared among other people, nn...@bugs.d.o should mail the submitter too. Now, I'd like to recap some of the options that were brought in the discussion (some of them can be mixed) 1. leave nnnnnn@ as it is now 2. nnnnn@ should mail the submitter by default 3. as 2. but adding an easy way to unsubscribe (if it's not already implemented) 4. same as 2. but adding a pseudo-header (and/or reportbug options) to not subscribe 5. same as 1. but adding a pseudo-header (and/or reportbug options) to subscribe maybe some new alias can be created: for exampel nnnnn-all@ to mail everyone involved, or something similar to nnnn-quiet@ to implement the current behavior is 2. passes. IMO I strongly believe that 2. should be the default of Debian BTS; submitters must be informed of any activities on the bugs they submitted (to prevent losing questions/informations/requests etc etc); and several are in favour of it. Don, could you please share your thoughts on this?
