As Nemo said the answer to those two questions are debatable, especially the
first one. I give (or used to anyways, especially at first) much higher
priority to bugs from Wikinews [as that is where I come from], and would love a
way to be default cc on all Wikinews related bugs [yes I know, none of the
proposed solutions allow that]. Arguably Should and Do have different meanings,
and perhaps I should treat all bugs equal, but as a volunteer, I do what I want
;)

People who are non-developers and non-bug reporters are also consumers of this
data. We've got people interested in Stats, people like MzMcBride who are  a
category on to themselves, random community members, etc.

Do random members of editing communities care about the status of bugs/feature
requests that are specific to their communities?
Yes. [As evidenced by bug 35925. People don't do that much busy work if they
don't care]
