What about using something like Private Ticket plugin? [1]    That way
users will only see their tickets and or tickets they are CC'd on
depending on how it's set up. The down side may be that your dev's may
want to annotate tickets with comments that they don't want the end
user to see?  But that may just be an issue of training your
developers to be more customer focused in their comments.  You could
always create a separate dev ticket and reference the customer facing
ticket from it.
