I've sort of missed the issue. Is it that reporters get auto-CCed on the 
target bug when bugs they file are marked as duplicate? You could hack 
the code to turn that off; but people can always remove themselves from 
the CC list.

If the issue is that people are getting too much mail saying "Bug X has 
been marked as a duplicate of Bug Y", then there's no specific email 
control for that sort of mail.
