Right! It happened to me on a different bug as well and the discussion 
was held (perhaps on purpose) at a different bug, which really annoyed 
me. I and many others were left without the chance to influence in 
time....But I understand that there isn't some global subscribe option 
of formula for bugs.

Yes, indeed.

No, obviously not, but the scope is limited and the thread diminishes in 
the foreseeable future. The same thread existed already for some time 
(with nobody taking responsibility btw).

Yes, it's possible. Obviously the number will get really smaller as 
software gets updated and information spreads and so on.

OK, good idea! So you have to have quite some resources for such a 
crawler in order find all enabled sites and test their public keys in a 
reasonable amount of time. Perhaps you can buy the list from Netcraft to 
speed up the process.

We'd certainly corporate upon results of such a list.
