I think that changes onder at least three circumstances:

1. You are the bug assignee

2. You are tagged in the comment - that is, if I say
@garyedmundsmiller in a comment Gary is subscribed to the thread.

3, You comment on the thread.

Hm.  I thought of it as instruction to Ian, my new junior apprentice. I guess
I could work up a version for the Hacking Guide.

I agree these are defects, though they probably bother me less than they
bother you. Alas, we don't have a way to fix them.
