To be more specific, we should have a pseudo-header like

Subscribe: yes

which would allow me to subscribe to the bug during submission. This
way, we avoid all issues of forcing users to see the BTS mail
exchanges, and allow the brave ones to participate without explicit
subscription.

I recall having contacted Don about this. He was not averse to
implementing this feature, but did not have sufficient time to handle
it.

Thanks.
