1) From a (slighly egoistic) bugmaster point of view I prefer to not edit the default CC list everytime somebody changes her/his field of interest or joins or leaves the project. 2) As far as I understand I am currently unable to follow development (means: all bugmail) for a specific component or product that interests me as a volunteer / potential future contributor. Somebody please correct me if I am wrong. In GNOME Bugzilla we "worked around" both problems by abusing the "Default QA Contact" field (which is not enabled in Wikimedia Bugzilla): We use a fake account specific for each component (e.g. "NOBODY <$component-ow...@wikimedia.bugs>" as default QA contact for $component AND as default assignee). Developers and interested volunteers can add this account to their "Bugzilla user watchlist" to receive all bugmail for that component. The real name makes clear that "nobody" is assigned to work on the task. If $somebody plans to work on a task you can set the assignee to $somebody, and anybody else can still follow the progress of that task as the QA Contact is still that fake email address in his/her watchlist.
