That could be a good idea. It would then put the burden on the Debian
maintainer to avoid sending the submitter duplicate copies when
replying, which seems much more likely to work.
A lot of bug submitters would probably like being automatically CC'd on
updates to the bug; that's how Bugzilla does it.
But then again some might not; we would have to supply a way to turn it
off. I guess this could be accomplished just by changing the submitter
address to something else, maybe.
I guess it's up to the BTS admins.
(Incidentally, before anyone interprets my mentioning Bugzilla as
advocating we switch to it or anything drastic like that: it is nothing
of the sort. I use both debbugs and Bugzilla pretty much daily, and
I've come to appreciate their separate strengths and weaknesses.
Something of a merger between the two would definitely be my ideal
BTS...)
