I don't think tying it to a > particular bug makes a lot of sense. My reasoning is as follows: * I have spotted a bug in a particular package and filed a bug report against it; thus I got auto-subscribed to that bug, and only to it with regard to that package. * The package got removed because of that bug. * Since the only my involvement with that package was filing that bug, I remain blissfully unaware of what really presents a big problem for me, the bug originator; something I'll have to deal with in some way. IOW, the removal just silently happened behind my back.
Sure, I could subscribe to the package in its QA page, but it has no sense for a casual user who just filed a bug. I'd also argue that it has not much sense for a "power user" like me as I did not intend to took over the maintenance of that package or something like this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
