Speaking as a relative newbie, I think that'd be a good idea, as I'm
curious what happens to all the bugs I triage. It's nice to know that a
bug you triaged got closed b/c you moved its status or added info or
something similar. It's also nice to know when someone butts in and
tells you that there's something else involved, because then you get to
learn more about the wonderful world of gnome =)

Just my two cents.
