I think this will be very useful. Extension can be added on this base
easily later (like e. g. tagging bugs as architecture specific).

I have another suggestion: What about:

subscribe #1234
subscribe packagename

to get all mail related to the corresponding bug, or even all bug mail
regarding a package. For example there are some package not maintained
by me where I am still very interested in the bugs, and could perhaps
help solving them quickly since I am familiar with the source. Also
this would solve the "How can I change the submitter adress" and "How
can the upstream author receive all bug reports" problems mentioned
lately.
