If you change that, please add a new nnnn-followup@ with the old
behaviour. And I think it would be wisest to change the mail the user
gets to no longer point to nnnn-followup@ instead of nnnn@ [1].
As the supplier of additional information has usually no idea whether the
original bug submitter wants to be informed about some hints about some
secondary effects/influences, it would still be very nice to have an
possibility to subscribe to a bug to get the -followup mails.

[1] I think that is the biggest argument against this change: The
current behaviour is user centered and the new one will be
developer-centered, so most likely be confusing to the user.
