The only seems to suggest this is a minority. I would however argue that the majority of other bug tracking systems do subscribe you to bugs you interact with. It makes sense to me that you do not need intimate knowledge of the Debian BTS to contribute, rather, it should by default behave as people with only prior experience in other environments would expect it to. > People often file bugs for issues they discover in software > they don't use or care about, getting followups to those isn't > necessary. While this use case exists, this is again surely a minority and in general people will file bugs because they ran into them or otherwise have an interest. The defaults should match this; the power users can always investigate how to best opt out.
