I disagree.
I want to watch a bug from when I decided to subscribe until its end. I
don't want to manually CC again just because someone starts working on
it. Without this manual CC'ing I would never receive an email when it
gets fixed.

When we talked on IRC I didn't realize that you do not automatically
watch users that are watched by users that you watch, but Olav is of
course right and now that I think about it it makes sense - otherwise
this would trigger huge amounts of mail (and loops).

Gstreamer: So either everything remains as it is, or virtual users are
created for each component and set as default QA contact, and every real
person has to add all those virtual users to their watchlist if
interested in watching the entire Gstreamer product.
