Conceptually, what "we" want is trivial: we want submitter to be
subscribed (in the sense of "bts subscribe") by default. If they want,
they are free to opt unsubscribing.
We currently even have procmail recipe to automatically subscribe upon
BTS ack receipt, that should be the default and the recipes reverted to
unsubscribe by default who doesn't want subscription.
Cheers.
