This is a nice start to reducing the email load!

I saw these three options on the subscription page for Launchpad bugs:

 * A change is made or a new comment is added to a bug in Launchpad itself.
 * Any change is made to a bug in Launchpad itself, other than a new comment 
being added.
 * A bug in Launchpad itself is fixed or re-opened.

but none of them really cover what I need - I'd like to see a couple more 
options:

 * receive only "new" bugs
 * receive only new comments on bugs (not other changes)

The vast majority of bugmail that I really don't care about is status changes, 
priority changes and branch linkage.  With the latter option, I solve that.  
With the first option I can subscribe to individual bugs to get more info if I 
want it on a case-by-case basis.

Hope that's useful feedback!

Cheers.
