Right, uh? ;)
There have been countless discussions on changing this behaviour, but
nothing happened.  From *our* use case this behaviour works great, since
there are several of us who mass-file bugs on the order of the
hundreds/thousands, and they really care about following the possible
ensuing discussion.

At any rate, to subscribe to a bug here you need to send an email (heh)
to nnnnn-subscribe at bugs.debian.org, so 910541-subscribe at bugs.debian.org
for this bug.  the content is ignored.  it will then send back an email
asking for confirmation, to which you need to just reply without
changing the conent/subject.
