I am sorry, but you are very confused and mistaken.
It was not appropriate to have closed this bug since you did not address
the issue documented in the bug report.
Even if there is a problem with the Binary Package keyword feature, that
does not explain why I did not receive any emails during this time
period, when the other keywords should have also triggered a notification.
For example, I did receive notifications for openssh on the
debian-devel-chan...@lists.debian.org and
debian-chan...@lists.debian.org mailing lists, which I was also
subscribed to.
In regards to your argument about the Binary Packages keyword...
My interaction with tracker was entirely through the web interface at
https://tracker.debian.org.
Adding the "Binary package" keyword through the web interface is trivial
and obvious. Simply click on the "Modify keywords" button and it's a
checkbox item. This isn't something hidden or obscure.
It is true that the "Binary Package keywords were not enabled by
default. I specifically checked them.
Debian's documentation for tracker says:
"The followed keyword are disabled by default but users can opt-in to
each of them if they wish to receive the corresponding messages:"
and
"upload-binary Notification of a binary package upload that got accepted
in the archive. In the case of Debian, it means a dozen of emails for
each source package upload, every time that the package has been built
for another architecture."

Your own documentation says this is possible and explains how to do it.
If your documentation and website are wrong, I would suggest you might
want to look into fixing that.

All those package names are "binary packages" and not "source packages".
The package tracker is based on source packages and you can only subscribe
to source packages.
If you use the web interface to subscribe, this can't happen in theory. If
you use the mail interface, you should get a warning about the fact that
you are subscribing to a source package that doesn't exist...
