As I said, I'm a big fan of Roundup's concept of the nosy list. Basically it's a list of email addresses to be notified about changes to a ticket. Whenever a user makes any change to a ticket, they are automatically added to the nosy list. Essentially, if you express a stake in a ticket, you are automatically notified for the rest of that ticket's lifecycle. It's a simple and intuitive model. If it turns out you don't want to be notified anymore, you can simply delete yourself fromt he CC list.
It's been a while, but IIRC Roundup also has ways for adding default entries in the nosy list as well as making it pretty easy to put hooks into the workflow to affect the nosy list. Roundup's email interface is actually extremely feature-rich (maybe overkill), handling user registration, ticket submissions, and maybe even reports (again, hard for me to remember). You can see the basic feature list here: http://roundup.sourceforge.net/doc-1.0/features.html Again, it's really the nosy list that's most important.
