I'm seeing exactly this problem with the proposal. IMHO we really need
a way to definitely get the submitter and we need to use that whenever
we need a answer. subscribing the submitter to ??????@bugs.d.o by
default and giving the option to unsubscribe will just increase the
number of Maintainers not thinking of CC the submitter.

I don't care if we have -submitter to reach the submitter or
-nosubmitter or whatever to keep him of the loop but a way to maybe
reach the submitter and depending on that is really worse than what we
have now.

Regards

Christoph
