You are right. I was viewing this only from the tester's point of view. I would like to be able to receive emails on bugs that I follow (either because I submitted the bug, or because I am interested in the evolution of that particular bug). I guess this is pretty basic and implemented by all decent bug database systems. Eventually, major bugs can be announced to the main list.
