If subscribe is a 'bts' command that sends a mail to bugnum-subscribe, yeah, sounds good.

Hi Don, can you please confirm what you wrote at the end of #327608, namely that the "owner" command does not make you automatically subscribed to the bug report and additionally that it does not have any functional effect beside declaring who is working on the bug? I'm closing this bug report (against the bts devscript) with the attached patch which changes its documentation. I would be glad if you can proof-read it. If the patch sounds fine to you it would be worth to change the documentation of the BTS web interface accordingly.
