Yes, I do believe that submitters should be informed of any activity
on their bugs (to know they're not ignored, to contribute to the tech
discussion (not every reported is a non-tech guy), etc). Lengthy
discussions are rare, people mailing nnnn@b.d.o believing it will
reach submitters too are much more common.
And no, I don't think they'd be scared or wasting their time receiving
updates on their bugs.
