I don't - if we think the mail coorespondance of a bug report is not something a user would like to receive, we're doing it wrong. Either are the mails too technically and complicated. That is a fair point, but I do not think it scares users away - if at all, it assures them that their bug is in good hands (but if they want, unsubsribing from it [except for the "bug closed" mail] should be easy, like mentioned in the mail footer) Or we think our own blame-assignments and bickering and argueing will scare users away. That is maybe the real reason we do not want to have users be subscribed? In that case, I think we should rather address this point on our side and make our bug reports mail exchanges better to read for everybody.
