I'm actually -1 on this. I see comments coming from Jira as being important, and I don't see that anyone who *may* be interested in an issue automatically setting it to "watch" or whatever based on the initial ticket. I seem to recall a proposal to move Jira messages to a separate list, which might be an acceptable substitute - but there should be a list where all Jira messages are sent. The problem about accidental changes to Jira sounds really annoying, but that should be reported to the Atlassian folks rather than doing a workaround that means people subscribed to the list won't see important additions to tickets.
