Following a specific bug request and/or a specific package is always a
feature I would like to see in the BTS. Currently, the only way to follow
a bug already mentions on the BTS is to make a new bug report and merge it
to the old. Having the possibilities to add someone to a specific bug
reply will make it possible to form a bug test team for all people who
has the same bug, and will greatly help to follow specific policy amendment
(and futurely QA tasks ;) without necessarely being subscribe to the
specific mailing lists.

We should at least report it has a wish list against debbugs. Hmm...
it's already done by Lars (bug# 34071) and has more than a year already
(03-03-1999). Seems the idea wasn't that original ;)
