Actually, there kind of was consensus about this. At least at one point
we decided to JFDI, and fix it. We did talk to several people who did
find the notifications to be of somewhat use, but it was more important
to stop the e-mail floods. There's even a test for this,
TestBugChanges.test_marked_as_duplicate, what should make sure that only
the people subscribed to the bug that is being marked as a duplicate is
notified. If this isn't working, we need to take a look at that test,
and find out why it's not working.
